It's weird, seeing that much of a split in opinion on this movie, while I'm right in the relative middle. I think Beautiful Day is really weird, because I can totally understand both sides of the argument. It feels like two movies put together in one for me. So the trio who ranked it bottom 2/3, That's how I felt, watching the first 1/3 to 1/2. It was just weird, gross-out humor that was on a similar level to Anomalisa or Fritz. But then the back half, when the movie found its voice and really started using its platform to tell a story about mental illness, it hooked me and I started really enjoying it. If I split the movie in half, I think I would've ranked the back half in my top 12, and the front half in my bottom 3. So...yeah...makes sense that it's polarizing.
