(500) Days of Summer - (90% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) Pick of the Week
The film expands this week so we got to pick it again. That and nothing else really excites us. Check out our review HERE for this clever, offbeat romantic comedy, that is refreshingly honest and utterly charming.
G-Force - (14% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)
Check out our review of it HERE by our new writer Eric Pulsifer. Critical consensus tells us it's got top-notch visuals but a pedestrian script with too many fart jokes.
Orphan - (49% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)
After the tragic loss of their unborn child Kate and John, taking decide to adopt a child in an attempt to cope with their grief. At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there’s something wrong with Esther—this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Critics are saying while it has moments of dark humor and the requisite scares, Orphan fails to build on its interesting premise and degenerates into a formulaic, sleazy horror/thriller.
The Ugly Truth - (13% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)
he Ugly Truth. Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is a romantically challenged morning show producer whose search for Mr. Perfect has left her hopelessly single. She's in for a rude awakening when her bosses team her with Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), a hardcore TV personality who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick. Consensus is despite the best efforts of Butler and Heigl, The Ugly Truth suffers from a weak script that relies on romantic comedy formula, with little charm or comedic payoff.
