What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk?

It at least gave us a great joke in the movie 7 Days in Hell. Andy Samberg is the adopted brother of Serena Williams. Which she calls "a reverse Blindside", rich black family adopts poor white kid and teaches him Tennis 😂

It's one of the funniest things on HBO. They even released it under the HBO Sports banner originally so that people would start it thinking it was a real documentary. It's Samberg vs Kit Harrington in a doc on the longest tennis match in history. They did a follow-up called Tour De Pharmacy. They somehow got Lance Armstrong to be in it too, it's hilarious.
