🎬 “Worst Film of the Year”? Rebel Wilson’s New Movie Gets Brutally Destroyed by Critics – But She Hits Back with Shocking Response

Rebel Wilson’s latest film was supposed to be her bold return to comedy — but what she got instead was a firestorm of backlash, brutal reviews, and fan disappointment that’s now exploding across social media.

Just hours after its release, the film — a surreal romantic comedy packed with absurd gags and unapologetic raunch — found itself on the wrong side of Rotten Tomatoes, sitting at a disastrous 9%.

Critics didn’t hold back: “Painfully unfunny,” “an incoherent mess,” and “so bad it made me question reality” were just some of the phrases tossed around by reviewers.

But it wasn’t just the critics turning up the heat. Longtime fans of Rebel Wilson were stunned by what they saw on screen — and they weren’t shy about expressing their shock.

“I’m honestly heartbroken. I love Rebel, but this was unwatchable,” one fan commented on Instagram.

“I brought my friends hyped for a laugh… we left in silence. Didn’t expect it to be this bad,” another wrote on X, adding a crying emoji.

“Totally disappointed. I defended her through everything. This? I just don’t get it,” a user posted in a viral TikTok reaction.

The wave of disappointment comes as a sharp blow to Wilson, who had heavily promoted the project, teasing it as her “weirdest and most fearless work yet.”

While the film certainly lived up to the “weird” part, many felt it crossed the line into cringeworthy — and worse, lazy.

So how did Rebel react to the venom?

With fire of her own.

“This isn’t my first time getting hate — and it won’t be the last,” she wrote in an Instagram Story. “I made this movie with love and joy. If it’s not for everyone, that’s okay. But I won’t apologize for being bold.”

In a longer post, she added: “Funny is subjective. I’d rather take risks and fail than make something safe and forgettable. If that makes people mad… oh well.”

Her words only added fuel to an already raging debate online. Was the backlash justified — or is Rebel being targeted for daring to be different?

While some fans turned on her, others stood by her side:

“Honestly, the movie’s not perfect but Rebel committed 100%. I’d take this over boring rom-coms any day,” one user argued.

“This is the same internet that trashed ‘White Chicks’ when it dropped. Now everyone calls it a classic. Give it time,” said another.

Inside sources close to the actress say she’s “hurt but staying strong.” One insider revealed, “Rebel knew the movie was out there.

She expected mixed reactions, but the cruelty is getting to her. Still, she’s standing tall.”

Interestingly, some people are now wondering whether Wilson even had full creative control. “There were a lot of studio notes, a lot of changes last-minute,” said a production source. “The version you see on screen wasn’t exactly what she signed up for.”

Despite everything, Rebel isn’t backing down. In a defiant TikTok — now nearing 3 million views — she claps back at critics by reading their meanest reviews out loud in a dramatic voice, before laughing and sipping a martini. “At least people are talking,” she grinned.

“Thanks for watching, haters!”

But the fan criticism keeps pouring in:

“I love her, but this movie was genuinely hard to sit through. I felt secondhand embarrassment,” someone wrote on Facebook.

“How did this even get greenlit? Rebel deserves better than… this,” another posted on Reddit.

“It felt like a TikTok skit stretched into a full movie. I was rooting for you, girl,” said a viewer on YouTube.

Yet amid all the noise, some believe this backlash might actually fuel her next big comeback. Wilson has always had a thick skin and a knack for turning controversy into momentum.

From being fat-shamed early in her career to fighting public lawsuits and reinventing herself after a dramatic health transformation, she’s never shied away from a challenge.

“She’s a fighter,” said a fellow comedian who’s worked with Wilson in the past. “People mock now, but wait six months — she’ll flip this moment into comedy gold.”

So what’s next for Rebel?

According to her rep, she’s already working on a new project — this time a limited series that leans into her darker, more dramatic side. No comedy. No gimmicks. Just raw storytelling.

For now, her fans (and critics) can only wait to see what comes next.

But one thing is clear: Rebel Wilson isn’t going anywhere — and whether you’re laughing with her or at her, she’s making damn sure you’re watching.
