Critically lambasted 2021 flop Queenpins enjoys shock revival and shoots to No 1 on Netflix chart

Published by Sam

A commercially and critically unsuccessful movie from 2021 is enjoying an unlikely resurgence on streaming platform Netflix. Queenpins, a comedy written and directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, is currently sitting at No 1 in Netflix’s film charts, ahead of such high-profile original films as Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget and Rebel Moon. Released just over two years ago, Queenpins received mixed reviews from critics, and has a “rotten” score of 48 per cent on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The film was also described as a box office bomb, having grossed just $1.2m against a production budget of around $20m. Queenpins follows a bored and directionless suburban woman, played by Kristen Bell, and her best friend JoJo, played by Kirby Howell-Baptiste, who launch an illegal – and highly profitable – counterfit coupin racket.

In a one-and-a-half star review for news.com.au, around the film’s release, critic Wenlei Ma described …
