Steve Carell's 'Mountainhead' Causes a Huge Divide on Rotten Tomatoes

Premiering on Saturday, May 31, Succession creator Jesse Armstrong's new HBO flick Mountainhead might be earning praise from critics, but fans haven't been as kind to the satirical comedy. Starring Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef, the film follows four billionaire friends on a secluded weekend retreat as the world goes through major turmoil thanks to the spread of AI-generated disinformation. Earning a 79% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the film's Popcornmeter sits at just 26%, as many viewers were expecting big things from Armstrong, but instead were presented with a movie that they feel is almost "unwatchable."
