This Seth Rogen comedy is one of Netflix's underrated movies you need to watch (August 2025)
If you haven't embraced K-pop, give it a chance. We're living in a world that belongs to the Huntr/x and the Saja Boys thanks to the success of KPop Demon Hunters. The animated movie is now the second most popular film in Netflix history, and it hasn't shown signs of slowing down. KPop Demon Hunters will occupy a spot in the top 10 for the foreseeable future. Below, the five Netflix movies are more of the underrated type. A raunchy comedy, a '90s rom-com, and an action epic highlight our picks for August. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. Neighbors (2014) Judging by the positive reviews and $270 million gross, Neighbors is properly rated as a successful studio comedy. It is underrated when discussed in Rogen's filmography. When picking Rogen's best comedies, most would say Superbad, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin before Neighbors. Mac (Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) are stunned to learn that a fraternity moves into the house next door. Teddy (Zac Efron), the fraternity's leader, extends an olive branch and promises to behave. After Mac calls the cops to shut it down, Teddy views it as an act of war. The two sides engage in a prank competition that gets personal. Watch Neighbors again, and you'll fall in love with the chemistry between Rogen, Efron, and Byrne. Stream Neighbors on Netflix. Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (2025) If the Trainwreck series went to network television or another streaming platform, it would be an afterthought. These Netflix documentaries tend to become phenomena. What streamer other than Netflix could release a documentary about a feces-infested cruise ship and have it become a hit? In 2013, an engine fire on a Carnival cruise caused a power outage. Not having lights was the least of the ship's concerns. Raw sewage infiltrated the passenger deck and caused mayhem. Hence, 'The Poop Cruise.' It's 55 minutes of ridiculousness. Watch it. Stream Trainwreck: Poop Cruise on Netflix. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) Not all Mission: Impossible movies are created equal. Ghost Protocol is right outside the top three. After a terrorist attack on the Kremlin, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF are disavowed by the U.S. government. With 'Ghost Protocol' activated, Ethan and his team must find a nuclear arms dealer before he starts a war between the United States and Russia. Tom Cruise's legend soared to new heights in Ghost Protocol after his stunt at the Burj Khalifa. From Ghost Protocol to The Final Reckoning, Cruise made it his mission to complete death-defying stunts for entertainment. For these reasons, it might go down as the most important entry in the franchise. Stream Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on Netflix. A Night at the Roxbury (1998) Hit the music and head for the club in A Night at the Roxbury, the 1998 comedy based on the sketch from Saturday Night Live. Brothers Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) have one dream: to party at the Roxbury. The boys dress the part, but cool is not in their vocabulary. Women reject them constantly, which makes for a funnier movie. Their father (Dan Hedaya) wants them to take over the family's flower shop. That's not in the cards for Doug and Steve, who believe they can open a club as cool as the Roxbury. A Night at the Roxbury is silly and a little stupid, but it sure does make you laugh. Stream A Night at the Roxbury on Netflix. She's All That (1999) From the clothes and the haircuts to the music and the lingo, She's All That is a '90s high school classic. In this modern version of My Fair Lady, Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) accepts a bet to make a girl prom queen in six weeks. That girl becomes Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook), a social outcast who runs from popularity. At first, Zack struggles to find a common ground with Laney. The two slowly enjoy spending time together and form a genuine connection. With prom approaching, Zack must decide if winning a bet or hurting Laney's feelings is more important. Prinze and Cook are so downright charming that you'll look past the film's weakest moments. Stream She's All That on Netflix.

Triple H Reacts To The Idea Of WWE Being Afraid Of Criticism
Triple H responds to the notion that WWE is afraid of criticism. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H was a recent guest on ESPN's First Take. When asked if the company had any concerns about letting people in more with the Netflix series, WWE: Unreal, Hunter said they looked at all aspects of things before committing to the series and believes they aren't afraid of criticism, or else they wouldn't run live shows every week. 'Absolutely, we all looked at that,' Triple H admitted. 'We looked at every aspect of it, and the positives and the negatives, and we weighed it out. You can't be afraid to do something in life. You can't be afraid that well, somebody might criticize us. If we were afraid that people might criticize what we do, we wouldn't put on a show every week. It's part of what makes us wonderful, and what we do is that you can look at it behind the scenes. 'You can look at it no differently than a sport. You can look at it and say, this coach doesn't know what he's doing. I would have done this, and I know that would have been better. You can think all those things, but seeing what goes into it, I think of us a lot as people that weren't fans of F1 Racing, see the behind the scenes of everything that goes into it, and it has increased their respect of an industry, their respect of what those athletes go through and what goes into bringing a race to life. 'I think this just increases the respect level for what we do. Are there people that are going to criticize? Yes. Are they going to see things out of context or moments in time that they want to criticize and jump on? Absolutely! But at the end of the day, we put on an amazing entertainment program that is seen by millions and millions of people around the globe. 'This is a look into what everybody behind the scenes goes through to put this show on. It is their life. It is their passion, and we all come at it from that point of view. So I think at the end of the day, the passion earns respect from our fans, and that's why we're doing it.' READ MORE: Report: What Things Were Set Up In WWE: Unreal?

Maven Says Only One Person In WWE Trusted Triple H
Maven has called out Triple H over his comments in WWE's latest documentary on Netflix. Former WWE superstar Maven Huffman has built a sizeable fanbase, thanks in part to his YouTube hustle. The former Tough Enough winner recently dropped a new video on his channel, in which he reacted to WWE: Unreal. The documentary pulls back the curtain on WWE's creative process with appearances from the likes of Triple H, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley. At one point during the documentary, Triple H references his old beef with Punk, telling fans the issue between them stemmed from a lack of trust. However, according to Maven, there weren't a lot of names who trusted Triple H during that era—except his best friend, Shawn Michaels. 'No one trusted you, Hunter,' Maven said. 'Not a damn — Shawn trusted you, right? There's your list.' Maven recalls his WWE experience with Triple H and Shawn Michaels 'You're in a WWE locker room, and when you're walking down from catering, and you see Hunter and Vince and Shawn. You see all these guys that you watched on TV, and you see all these guys that you've idolized for years, and all of a sudden, you're not only in the same locker room as them, but hell, I'm on the show with them tonight,' Maven said. He continued, ''Well, I don't want to step on anybody's toes. I'm going to be the good little subordinate wrestler and do what I'm told. Hopefully, if I cross my fingers and I do what's right, then my time will come.' That's how 99.9% of the locker room views it. Punk said that was bullshit, and I'm gonna be as much of a star as you are without your effing help. By God, he went out and did it.'
