23 Buddy Movies, Ranked From Worst to Best
You've seen so many buddy movies you could probably write one in your sleep. Create a character, create a second character who's the opposite (size-wise, disposition-wise or otherwise), drop them both into a pressure cooker (figuratively, please) and let the fun begin.
But history proves that it's not quite so easy to create a classic buddy movie. Here's a rundown of 23 buddy movies that mastered—and messed up—the formula, ranked from worst to best by Metascore.
