All of Selena Gomez's movies and TV shows, ranked from worst to best

Rotten Tomatoes score: 0%

Synopsis: The 2014 comedy focuses on teen Rick Stevens (Nat Wolff), who has a crush on a classmate named Nina Pennington and bets $1,000 that he'll have sex with her before Arbor Day.

The movie was panned by critics.

'"Behaving Badly' is a dreadful sex comedy that gets worse and worse as its dopey story snowballs into relative incoherence," Gary Goldstein wrote for the Los Angeles Times.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 3%

Synopsis: Gomez teams up with Ethan Hawke for the action thriller "Getaway," which centers on a former race car driver on a dangerous mission to rescue his kidnapped wife. In the 2013 film, Gomez plays a critical role as a computer hacker and daughter of a bank CEO.

Critics called the film derivative, sloppy, and incoherent.

"A B-movie made out of F-grade parts, 'Getaway' has some of the trappings of a charmingly crass, go-for-broke action pic like the delightful 'Crank.' But it's too dumb — and far too cynical about what audiences want — to even know how to have fun with them," Adam Markovitz wrote for Entertainment Weekly.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 14%

Synopsis: Gomez voices a princess named Selenia in "Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard," a hybrid live-action and animated fantasy film directed by French filmmaker Luc Besson and released in 2009.

"This sequel is only marginally more entertaining than the first, and still lacks sustainable appeal for either kids or adults," Jordan Mintzer wrote for Variety.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 15%

Synopsis: Robert Downey Jr. stars as Dr. Dolittle in Stephen Gaghan's 2020 reimagining of the iconic vet character from children's literature who can communicate with animals. The star-studded cast includes Gomez as the voice of a giraffe named Betsy.

Critics said the film was dull, squandered its A-list voice cast, and marked Downey Jr.'s career low.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 20%

Synopsis: Gomez reprised her voice role as Selenia in "Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds."

Similar to its predecessor, the sequel didn't impress critics.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 26%

Synopsis: Gomez plays the love interest of former Nickelodeon star Nat Wolff in the 2016 film "In Dubious Battle," directed by and starring James Franco. The movie is based on famed author John Steinback's novel of the same name about the labor movement in California in the '30s.

Critics called the movie "dull" and "monotonous in its messaging."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 41%

Synopsis: Fresh after graduating from high school, Grace (Gomez) embarks on a dream trip to Paris with her best friend, Emma (Katie Cassidy), and her older stepsister, Meg (Leighton Meester). The trip is disastrous until Grace learns that she looks identical to heiress Cordelia Winthrop-Scott and decides to impersonate her.

Critics called the 2011 adventure rom-com cheesy and said Gomez's performance wasn't exceptional.

"Even as she is the center of attention here in a double role, the jury is still out on Gomez's big-screen potential; she's not very appealing or magnetic here, nor does she display any particular comic gifts for this sort of broad fare," Todd McCarthy wrote for The Hollywood Reporter.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 45%

Synopsis: The animated movie centers on Count Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler), the iconic vampire and owner of the human-free, monster-friendly establishment known as Hotel Transylvania.

The status quo shifts when a human named Johnny (Andy Samberg) stumbles upon the hotel and falls in love with Mavis (Gomez), the daughter of Count Dracula.

Critics said that the movie was low on laughs and not nearly as thrilling or well-done as animated films such as "Monsters, Inc."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 47%

Synopsis: Gomez and Timothée Chalamet star as love interests named Chan and Gatsby, who reconnect when they run into each other in New York City.

The movie, written and directed by Woody Allen, was quietly released in 2019. Critics agreed that the film was a far cry from Allen's previously acclaimed films.

"'A Rainy Day in New York'" feels like something that belongs in a museum, preferably in storage," Peter Sobczynski wrote for RogerEbert.com.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 47%

Synopsis: In the fourth and final installment of the "Hotel Transylvania" franchise, Johnny transforms into a monster, and Count Dracula becomes a human after being blasted by a crystal-powered ray.

Critics said the already-lackluster animated franchise ended on a dull note.

"The result is yet another wearisome tale that inelegantly depicts themes like acceptance, understanding, and diversity within a saga that has always been rather clumsy with its messaging around such weighty topics," Tomris Laffly wrote for Variety.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 54%

Synopsis: Selena Gomez plays a hipster named Zoe in Jim Jarmusch's movie "The Dead Don't Die," which focuses on police officers battling a zombie invasion in a small town called Centerville.

Many critics weren't impressed by the zombie comedy.

"The line between the laid-back and the listless, in 'The Dead Don't Die,' may be too fine even for [Jarmusch], and most of the running gags don't run at all, merely loping around in a circle," Anthony Lane wrote for The New Yorker.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 57%

Synopsis: The second "Hotel Transylvania" movie focuses on Johnny and Mavis' son Dennis (Asher Blinkoff), who appears to not exhibit any vampire traits — much to the concern of the couple and Count Dracula.

Critics said that the film was slightly better than its predecessor, but still not great overall.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 60%

Synopsis: Disney Channel stars Gomez and Demi Lovato combine their star power for the 2009 TV movie "Princess Protection Program."

The film centers on a princess named Rosalinda María Montoya Fioré (Lovato), who goes undercover and poses as the cousin of an ordinary girl named Carter Mason (Gomez) for her own safety after a military takeover.

The movie only has a few reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, most of which are positive.

"It's been a while since Disney has had two promising young stars so equally matched in charm and appeal to promote at the same time," Laura Fries wrote for Variety.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 62%

Synopsis: The highest-rated "Hotel Transylvania" is the third installment, released in 2018. In the movie, Mavis decides that Count Dracula desperately needs a vacation and books a trip for him on a cruise ship. There, he meets and falls in love with the ship captain named Ericka (Kathryn Hahn), who turns out to be the great-granddaughter of his longtime nemesis.

Critics said that the change of scenery largely benefited the film.

"With such unpromising origins, it's pleasantly baffling to discover that not only is 'Hotel Transylvania 3' easily the best film of the series, but it also feels more at home thematically on a cruise ship than its predecessors did at a haunted Transylvanian castle," Jesse Hassenger wrote for The A.V. Club.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 64%

Synopsis: Following the success of the 2014 R-rated comedy "Neighbors," Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return as Mac and Kelly, a couple who find themselves living next door to a raucous, newly created sorority called Kappa Nu. Gomez stars as Madison, the president of the sorority Phi Lamda.

Critics enjoyed the "Neighbors" sequel, calling it self-aware and a refreshing female-centric spin on the first movie.

"This premise is as close to that of the original film as 'Neighbors 2' can get," Caroline Framke wrote for Vox. "But the sequel is so much smarter and more creative than its basic logline implies — and it far surpasses its predecessor."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 65%

Synopsis: Actor William H. Macy's directorial debut centers on a father named Sam (Billy Crudup) who forms a band to grieve the death of his son Josh (Miles Heizer), a songwriter and musician. Gomez plays Kate, a girl who previously dated Josh.

"Rudderless" received mixed reviews.

"For all its noble intentions and loaded emotions, 'Rudderless' proves a largely hollow, uninvolving affair," Gary Goldstein wrote for the Los Angeles Times.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 68%

Synopsis: Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers" follows four women as they travel to St. Petersburg, Florida, for spring break and end up in the crosshairs of a drug dealer named Alien (James Franco).

The movie received mixed reviews from critics. Some described it as "tiresome," while others called it Korine's "best film in years."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 71%

Synopsis: Joey King and Gomez star as siblings Ramona and Beezus Quimby, respectively, in Elizabeth Allen's 2010 film based on the popular "Ramona" book series.

Critics said the movie didn't fully live up to the source material, but it was serviceable and full of heart.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 80%

Synopsis: In "The Fundamentals of Caring," Paul Rudd stars as a retired writer who takes on a job as a caretaker to an 18-year-old named Trevor (Craig Roberts) with muscular dystrophy. While on a road trip, the pair befriend a hitchhiker named Dot (Gomez) and let her join them. The 2016 movie is based on Jonathan Evison's novel "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving."

The movie received favorable reviews, with critics praising the chemistry between Rudd and Roberts.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 82%

Synopsis: The 2024 musical crime thriller centers on a cartel leader named Juan "Manitas" Del Monte (Karla Sofía Gascón), who secretly undergoes gender reassignment surgery. After transitioning, Manitas adopts the name Emilia Pérez. Gomez stars as Jessi, Manitas' wife.

"Emilia Pérez" received mixed reviews, but many critics praised the movie despite its flaws.

"'Emilia Pérez' charms, partly, because of its imperfections, its bold choices that don't always neatly land," Richard Lawson wrote for Vanity Fair. "The film walks a fine line between daring and ridiculous, and unlike some other big-swing movies at this year's Cannes, 'Emilia Pérez' stays mostly on the side of good."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 96%

Synopsis: Gomez reprises her role as Mabel, a true crime fan turned podcaster and mystery solver, in season three of Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building." In the third season, Mabel and her fellow podcast hosts, washed-up actor Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin) and theater director Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) work to uncover who killed Broadway actor Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd).

Season three of "OMITB" received praise from critics, with many highlighting the welcome addition of Meryl Streep as an actor named Loretta Durkin. Gomez also landed her first Emmy nomination for her performance as Mabel.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 96%

Synopsis: In the most recent season of "OMITB," which concluded in late October, the rag-tag trio team up to solve the mystery of Charles' longtime stunt double Sazz Pataki's (Jane Lynch) death — while grappling with their story being turned into a Hollywood film.

Season four was a hit with critics.

"This season, there's a major influx of talent added to 'Only Murders in the Building' — but the new and returning faces don't outshine the stars," David Bianculli wrote for NPR. "They shine, and play, right along with them."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 97%

Synopsis: In season two of "OMITB," Mabel, Charles, and Oliver put their true crime skills to the test to figure out who killed fellow Arconia resident Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell).

"OMITB" continued to be a critical darling in its second season.

"The brilliance of this show is that you want to solve the mystery as if it were a thriller, but you get all the pleasure of it being a comedy, too," Rebecca Nicholson wrote for The Guardian.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%

Synopsis: "Wizards of Waverly Place" gets the revival treatment in Disney Channel's "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place." The series centers on Justin (David Henrie), the eldest Russo sibling, now in his 30s with a wife and two kids, and tasked with mentoring a promising young wizard-in-training named Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown). Gomez returns as Alex Russo in a guest starring capacity and executive produces the series.

Critics said that the show will delight both fans of the original series and newcomers.

"Reboots and sequels rarely live up to the hype. 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place' has its own flair; still, the comedy pays homage to the previous show and offers new and unique storylines for a new generation," Aramide Tinubu wrote for Variety.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%

Synopsis: In the first season, Mabel, Charles, and Oliver meet and become an unlikely group of investigators of the murder of Tim Kono (Julian Cihi) a fellow Arconia resident.

Season one was praised by critics, earning a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics lauded the dynamic between the three main characters, the plot twists, and the slow-build reveal of who killed Tim.
