That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

Mrs. Doubtfire. I simply find the plot to be too contrived and ridiculous to get pulled into the story. Yes, I get that the movie is supposed to be a comedy. It does have a funny moment or two, but overall I find the comedy more cringe than actually humorous.
I saw it a month or so ago and was floored how badly it aged. The entire plot is just kind of a monument to outdated gender stereotypes. They also made me HATE the wife and it irks me when movies create hollow scapegoat characters I'm supposed to just dislike.
Watching it was a reminder how fucking long ago the 90s were.
