Netflix Quietly Adding 2013 Comedy That Divided Critics, Audience
A new month means new content coming to Netflix.
The massive streaming platform is adding a hoard of new content with over 50 movies for its nearly 200 million monthly users to enjoy.
Among the movies coming to Netflix this month is a 2013 comedy that seemed to divide critics and audiences alike - though not every critic was a fan either.
'Drinking Buddies' Flopped at the Box Office
Drinking Buddies delivered an all-star cast of Jason Sudeikis, Olivia Wilde, Anna Kendrick Jake Johnson and Ron Livingston.
"Kate and Luke work together at a craft brewery. They have one of those friendships that feels like it could be something more," reads the synopsis of the film. "But Kate is with Chris, and Luke is with Jill. And Jill wants to know if Luke is ready to talk about marriage. The answer to that question becomes crystal clear when Luke and Kate unexpectedly find themselves alone for a weekend."
The strong cast, though, couldn't save the film from becoming a box office flop. With an estimated budget of $650,000, the 2013 comedy delivered just a hair over $400,000 at the worldwide box office.
