It seems that Reynolds’ good fortune has continued, as one of his most critically panned movies, R.I.P.D, has shot to the top of the Netflix charts in the USA. This is despite the movie’s poor reviews when it was first released in 2013. “R.I.P.D” was a box-office disaster when it was first released. The movie is also the lowest-rated Reynold movie on Rotten Tomatoes.

It is clear that Reynolds has a loyal and passionate fan base that continues to support him, even in his more forgettable roles. This is a testament to his talent as an actor and his likable personality.
