One of the worst-rated noughties romantic comedies – Failure to Launch – has shot to Netflix's most watched list, despite its terrible 23% Rotten Tomatoes score. But why has it become a global hit on Netflix 18-years later? Well, the answer is 1) Matthew McConaughey and 2) there's clearly still a desire for nostalgic 2000s rom-coms.
Other rom-com flops with poor ratings such as A Family Affair and Find Me Falling have made their way onto the best streaming service's top ten list in recent weeks, but now it's Failure to Launch who has come in at number seven with 4.8 million views.
