Seth Rogen has a laugh you can hear through walls and a filmography with a basement. This is the basement, ranked by movie.guru score.
The last one scored so low it got its own band name.
- 8
A $1.66 billion hit, and it's still his bottom eight.
$1.66 billion worldwide, a CinemaScore A, and a 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. Photoreal lions can't make faces, so Rogen's warthog carries the feelings. Guru's Take: 4.9.
- 7
Barry Jenkins directing a lion prequel is the real plot twist.
$722.6 million worldwide on a reported $200 million budget. Audiences beat 71% of movies, critics only 39%. The warthog is load-bearing again.

Too low. This one deserves out of the basement.
82% on Rotten Tomatoes and $101.5 million domestic. A 6.1 movie.guru score for famous guys playing themselves at the apocalypse feels like a clerical error. Guru's Take: 6.9.

Peak Rogen giggle, middle-of-the-road movie. Both things are true.
IMDb 6.9 from 376,248 votes, but a 64 on Metacritic. James Franco's Saul is why anyone rewatches. The action-heavy third act is where the jokes go to nap.
- 4
Best reviewed newcomer on this list, and nobody showed up.
79% on Rotten Tomatoes, then just $16.6 million domestic against a reported $30 million budget. Aziz Ansari directed, Sandra Oh showed up, theaters shrugged anyway.
- 3
Grossed 15 times its budget. Audiences still gave it a shrug.
$270.7 million worldwide on a reported $18 million budget. Critics gave it 72% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences beat only 35% of movies. Rose Byrne steals it from both guys.

The most talked-about Rogen movie almost nobody saw in theaters.
$6.1 million domestic against a reported $44 million budget. An IMDb 6.5 from 380,829 voters says people found it somewhere else. Randall Park is the best thing in it, easily.

The 1.7 that makes The Interview look like a classic.
29% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 27 on Metacritic, a CinemaScore C minus. $6.9 million worldwide on a reported $35 million budget. Steve Buscemi and Glenn Close deserved a better barn.
Change my mind. Rank these from most to least rewatchable. Wrong answers only.
$338.17 says the comments get angrier about This Is the End being here than Animal Farm being last.
