Since its release on Netflix last week, the raunchy teen comedy “Incoming” has been a fixture on the streaming service’s top 10 movies chart, and it’s currently at No. 1, ahead of Netflix originals like the Mark Wahlberg/Halle Berry action movie “The Union” and new installments of the “Untold” sports documentary franchise. Viewers have clearly been eager to stream the movie about four friends navigating their first high school party, with its deliberate throwbacks to earlier teen comedies.
“Incoming” falls far short of the movies it attempts to evoke, though, with annoying characters, sloppy plotting, and gross-out humor that is more disgusting than amusing. Critics have torn “Incoming” apart, giving it a dismal 27 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the audience rating is only marginally positive at 61 percent.
