In February 2025, Zachary Levi starred in a new drama calledThe Unbreakable Boy,which has earned disappointing reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but this is far from Levi’s worst critical rating.Based on a true story,The Unbreakable Boyis a family drama that followsa man named Scott whose son is diagnosed with autism and brittle bone disease. Although Scott tries his hardest to make his son’s life feel normal, he ends up learning more from his child about joy and acceptance. At the moment, the movie has a 41% critic’s score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Unbreakable Boyhas only been out for a short time, but these initial reviews are not promising. Critics have noted that the movie’s story is harmless and feel-good, perhaps to its own detriment. Mainly,The Unbreakable Boydoesn’t do anything particularly special with its story. Rather than showing emotional peaks and valleys, the movie remains overly optimistic, and thus, one-note. Levi has received some positive feedback for his performance, but unfortunately, this has not been enough to save the film thus far. Plus, it is yet another poor score for an already down-on-his-luck Levi.
The Unbreakable Boy Gives Zachary Levi Another “Rotten” Movie On Rotten Tomatoes
It’s disappointing thatThe Unbreakable Boyhas earned poor reviews, but the problem is made even worse by the factthat this is Levi’s fourth rotten movie in just a few years. Since 2022, Levi has starred in five films, four of which have received bad reviews. These includeThe Unbreakable Boy,Harold and the Purple Crayon, Spy Kids: Armageddon,andShazam! Fury of the Gods.Rotten Tomatoes scores are not totally representative of an actor’s career, but this streak is disheartening, and could say a lot about where Levi’s career is headed. The actor needs a pivot, and soon.

Based on his Rotten Tomatoes, it is clear that Levi has had plenty of well-earned successes over the course of his career. His highest-rated movie is 2017’sPsych: The Movie,which has an incredible 100% critics score.

Zachary Levi’s Career Worst Rotten Tomatoes Score Came 19 Years Ago
What Is Next For Levi
The one bright spot ofThe Unbreakable Boy’sreception is that it is far from Levi’s worst Rotten Tomatoes score. That title goes to 2006’sBig Momma’s House 2,which has a truly dismal 5% critics score. With a 41%,The Unbreakable Boyis Levi’s fourth worst-rated movie of all time, at least for now. Ultimately, this streak is troubling for Levi, but is not the end of the world (or his career.) Hopefully, his next projects can erase this rotten trend and lead to renewed interest in the actor and his work.
AfterThe Unbreakable Boy,Levi has one more movie set to premiere in 2025. This isSarah’s Oil,which is a biographical film about Sarah Rector, a young Black girl who became an oil magnate due to the Treaty of 1866. After that, Levi has two more movies on deck:Not Without HopeandHotel Tehran.The former is another true story centering on a boating accident, while the latter is a spy movie. Thus, Levi will see a slight career change afterThe Unbreakable Boy,and hopefully that will be a welcome development.
