Jafaican has received much international backlash for various reasons since the film was released in 2025.
Many critics and audiences have criticized British singer-turned-actor Peter Andre, who is of Greek Cypriot descent, for playing a Jamaican character with fake Rastafarian dreadlocks and a dubbed accent.
The flick was recently slammed by Black British and Caribbean communities, with many calling it tone deaf, believing it is culturally insensitive and features cultural appropriation.
What’s more, many people believe the film reinforces harmful stereotypes of the Jamaican community and its culture.
Due to the film’s extensive backlash for cultural appropriation and insensitivity, BEO betting odds indicate Jafaican is the favorite to receive Worst Film at the 2026 Golden Raspberry Awards.
Popeye’s Revenge is a Solid Contender
Popeye’s Revenge appears to be a strong contender for the accolade, as many critics have criticized the flick for a lack of originality.
Many believe the film lifted ideas from classic horror flicks, such as Friday the 13th and Halloween: Resurrection.
What’s more, it has received negative comments for its disregard of the iconic character, as the Popeye in the film isn’t a sailor, doesn’t eat spinach, and is only a murderer with huge forearms.
It made many changes to the source material, turning Popeye’s girlfriend Olive Oyl into his evil sister, and it has a chaotic plot and unanswered questions that frustrated audiences worldwide.
As many reviews criticized the story, acting, pacing, direction, and visual effects, it wouldn’t be a shock if Popeye’s Revenge took home Worst Film at the 2026 ceremony.
The Electric State Could Pick Up the Award
The Electric State has received a significant number of negative reviews since the film was released, suggesting it has what it takes to win Worst Film at the Golden Raspberry Awards 2026.
Many critics blasted the 2025 movie for its generic story, lack of character development, awkward and predictable dialogue, and unconvincing CGI.
Also, some have questioned how the film has managed to waste the incredible talents of its all-star cast, such as Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown, Stanley Tucci, and Woody Harrelson.
As The Electric State cost $300 million to make and was widely panned by top critics and audiences, it is likely a huge target for Worst Film at the Golden Raspberry Awards 2026, as voters often choose a big budget failure to pick up the accolade.
Unfortunately, you will need to wait to find out if Jafaican or one of the above movies is in contention for the Worst Film award. The nominations are likely to be confirmed in mid-January 2026, and the winner will be announced in late February or early March 2026.
