The 10 worst movies of the summer, according to critics by Travis Clark on Aug 31, 2018, 9:13 AM Advertisement
 2018 has been a great year for movies that has reinvigorated the box office. But every year comes with the obvious duds at the cinema, and this summer is no exception. That statement is especially true for August, which saw an unusually high number of movies that were torn apart by critics and bombed at the box office (thanks goodness for "Crazy Rich Asians"). This August was just a dumping ground for bad movies. We gathered the 10 worst movies of summer 2018 according to critics (six of which were released in August) and ranked them from bad to worst, based on this list from review-aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. They range from a Melissa McCarthy R-rated puppet comedy to one of the worst-reviewed films of Mark Wahlberg's career. Below are the 10 worst movies of the summer, according to critics: SEE ALSO: Neil Armstrong movie 'First Man' omits the American flag being planted on the moon, and star Ryan Gosling defended the decision 10. "A-X-L"  Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 27% Release date: August 24 What critics said: "From the poster, 'A.X.L.' looks like one of the fake movies Vinny Chase would star in on Entourage, which might lead you to believe that it’s a good choice for a night of getting drunk and laughing at a bad movie with your friends. It is not." — Katie Rife, AV Club
9. "Breaking In"  Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 27% Release date: May 11 What critics said: "Just in time for Mother’s Day, 'Breaking In' gifts moms everywhere with a thrill-free, home-invasion thriller about a mom (Gabrielle Union) who’ll stop at nothing to keep four bad guys from killing her two kids. That’s the plot, folks. It never goes any deeper than that, or gets any less predictable." — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
8. "Overboard"  Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 25% Release date: May 4 What critics said: "The initial premise, so self-consciously silly in 1987, seems even more implausible in the internet age. Wouldn’t it be national news that the playboy son of one of the wealthiest men in the world and heir to his company has gone missing and/or died in a shark attack, which his vengeful sister tries to claim in order to get control of her ailing father’s company?" — Lindsey Bahr, Associated Press
