Worst Films you've ever seen

I'd like to add Swiped (2018) to the list. The overwhelming amount of negative reviews of this movie are understandable.

- Clunky and sometimes unnecessary dialogue. Too much telling and not enough showing. From the opening scene I kept watching because I was genuinely curious to see if it'd improve. Whilst harsh, my first thought was "This dialogue reminds me of how I thought people talked to one another when I first started getting into writing as a young child".

-Alright, so this is a nitpick but we're told that the main character is taking computer science, but the class he's taking isn't that subject. Instead, the subject he's shown to be doing (building apps), that's not computer science.

- On top of that, the film mentions that most of the students chose computer science (despite the fact that it isn't even computer science) because they thought it'd be a easy subject they wouldn't have to put effort into. Which doesn't make any sense. Computer science and app development aren't the types of subjects someone would take if they didn't want to put any work in. Surely they'd have a basic idea of what's involved? What did they think they were gonna do all year? That'd they sit down and ask the computer nicely to make layout designs and write custom code for them? I could perhaps buy if one student thought this, but most of the class? Really?

2 / 10, what was the point? Preachy message. Sexist. Pointless. Boring. Confusing. I'd recommend watching something else. Not even so bad it's good. It's just bad.
