Liam Hemsworth’s latest romantic drama Lonely Planet, recently released on Netflix, has left fans feeling underwhelmed. Despite the success of other Netflix romantic films this year like A Family Affair and Nobody Wants This, Lonely Planet failed to impress viewers following its October 11 release. The film has received a disappointing 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 44% on Popcornmeter.
Fans on social media platform X have been vocal about their disappointment. One user commented, “Not only was Liam Hemsworth & Laura Dern’s chemistry unconvincing, forced & awkward, LONELY PLANET has got to be the most insignificant, inconsequential romantic drama that Netflix assembly line had ever produced; featuring the shallowest epiphany ever written.” Another viewer echoed this sentiment, saying, “Lonely Planet fell so spectacularly flat, like there wasn’t a single moment throughout the movie that I felt anything.”
Another X user went as far as to label it one of the worst films of the year, stating, “It is going to be so hard to find a film worse than Lonely Planet this year where Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth’s lack of chemistry is displayed as a fascinating crash.”
Despite its star power, the film’s lackluster reception has sparked widespread criticism, with many fans hoping for more depth from the performances and storyline. Lonely Planet, featuring Liam Hemsworth and Laura Dern, is now streaming on Netflix.
