After toiling through the stand-up and TV guest appearance circuit for well over a decade, and using a memorable supporting role in Key & Peele’s Keanu as a major stepping stone, Tiffany Haddish broke into the mainstream with 2017’s Girls Trip. The biggest and best-reviewed female ensemble comedy since Bridesmaids, the Certified Fresh Trip would raunchify audiences up to a $120 million haul at the domestic box office. Haddish capitalized on her new, sudden fame with a steady yet varied slate of films in 2018, including starring opposite Kevin Hart in Night School, working with Tyler Perry on Nobody’s Fool, and turning those Kyrie Irving Uncle Drew commercials into an unlikely (and Fresh!) feature.
In 2019, there was no animated sequel with a 2 in its title that Haddish could resist, as she voiced fowl (The Angry Birds Movie 2), a Shih Tzu (The Secret Life of Pets 2), and shapeshifting plastic (The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part).
And now, Haddish kicks off 2020 with Like a Boss, a comedy clash in the world of corporate cosmetics. Before the film hits theaters this Friday, where she shares starring duties with Rose Byrne and Salma Hayek, we’re ranking all Tiffany Haddish movies by Tomatometer!
#10
Adjusted Score: 31.637%
Critics Consensus: With three talented leads struggling to prop up a sagging story, The Kitchen is a jumbled crime thriller in urgent need of some heavy-duty renovation.
#9
Adjusted Score: 23.886%
Critics Consensus: Nobody’s Fool has a pair of strong leads and a smattering of scenes that highlight Tiffany Haddish’s talents — all of which only make the uninspired end results more frustrating.
#8
Adjusted Score: 32.366%
Critics Consensus: Night School’s funny stars and seemingly promising setup add up to a disappointingly scattershot comedy whose laughs are largely held in detention.
#7
Adjusted Score: 65.535%
Critics Consensus: The Secret Life of Pets 2 doesn’t teach its animated stars any new narrative tricks — but for fans of the original, this funny, energetic sequel should still satisfy.
#6
Adjusted Score: 64.338%
Critics Consensus: Kyrie Irving’s crossover to comedy is amiable enough to score with basketball fans, but Uncle Drew is held back by formulaic plotting and too much product placement.
#5
Adjusted Score: 66.055%
Critics Consensus: The Oath draws on hyper-partisan modern politics for a pointedly funny satire that hits its targets hard and often enough to more than achieve its desired discomfort.
#4
Adjusted Score: 77.22%
Critics Consensus: Like its non-aerodynamic title characters, The Angry Birds Movie 2 takes improbable yet delightfully entertaining flight, landing humorous hits along the way.
#3
Adjusted Score: 84.396%
Critics Consensus: Keanu’s absurd premise and compulsively watchable starring duo add up to an agreeably fast-paced comedy that hits more than enough targets to make up for the misses.
#2
Adjusted Score: 97.888%
Critics Consensus: While it isn’t quite as much fun as its predecessor, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part fits neatly into an animated all-ages franchise with heart and humor to spare.
#1
Adjusted Score: 97.449%
Critics Consensus: Girls Trip is the rare R-rated comedy that pushes boundaries to truly comedic effect — and anchors its laughs in compelling characters brought to life by a brilliantly assembled cast.
