Spider-Man: Far From Home

In the Avenger hiatus after Endgame, the world needs a hero refresh as much as the Marvel franchise needs its ageing fanbase refreshed, so it stands to reason Far From Home delivers up a Spiderman doing a better but still far from perfect job meeting global demand for his superhero powers while the story, this time featuring a tech-enhanced villain whose tricks recall those of Batman's The Scarecrow, takes on the tone of a Spy Kids sequel.

Couples Retreat (2009)

Several couples go to an exclusive island retreat for marriage counselling, is the context of this romantic vom-edy, actually a long series of unfunny, uncharming sex, masturbation, and penis jokes featuring the most unattractive array of petulant manchildren you will ever see in a movie - far from wishing them all a speedy relationship recovery, you want to tell the women to run for the departing boats and never look back.
