12% and a 3.8? Yikes. I wanted to see this but I'll probably have to bow out now. I don't have money to waste, plus WW is coming out next week anyway. 

 

Use the BOGO on Atom...no real loss then if it's not good...

[pepper83]

I'm not even surprised at the reviews. This looked stupid since the 1st trailer. Can't believe Priyanka choose this crap as her Hollywood debut.

[Dementeleus]

With regards to comedy (and horror, for that matter), what satisfies critics and audiences are often two different things. There's no right or wrong. We have yet to see whether audiences are satisfied or not.

Paramount now only has Transformers & Mission Impossible franchises to keep them afloat. Why the severed leg? Why?

[baumer]

Such a zombie pack mentality.  Critics tell you it's not good and all of sudden Priyanka is an idiot...the trailers looked stupid and everyone knew it was going to suck right from the start.  You can choose not to see something because critics tell you it sucks, but you don't know personally if it does or not until you see it.

Dang.

 

Would this be the worst RT score of any of Johnson's movies? /check 

 

At 9%, it IS, oh my GOD. This is tripping me out. I didn't expect 100% but sounds like it didn't even entertain people that much. Welp.

And it's currently tied with Doom in the average rating department. Ouch.

We at least know from the reviews and the trailers that this is chock-a-block full of dick jokes.

 

I do feel like maybe someone could figure out if this movie's comedy is for them based on that.

I don't need critics to tell me what sucks and what not. I can decide that for myself. And Baywatch looked retarted from the start. And yes Priyanka is stupid because she's actually a really talented actress and deserves good movies.

Man who's watching this for the story or characters, just like with Transformers which we watch for the robots we're watching this for the T&A

In a world with lot of people having high speed Internet and free Internet porn ? And lots of T&A available, I'm not sure how much of a draw to the theater it is.

 

Most people will want this to be funny to watch it.

Yea sure but this time its on the BIG screen, if you know where I'm coming from.

[Dementeleus]

I think it looks funny enough. Dunno if I'll see it in theaters, though.

Maybe she also needs to make money, which is why she took this job.

PC is a disappointment. She wants to be part of hollywood so decided to accept the first project that came her way. Big mistake. If this flops and apparently her acting is awful in this, she will have to go back crawling to bollywood where I don't think she stands a chance in the current competitive cut throat climate.

Honestly dude sometimes you need to step back from the computer and think about what you're typing before you hit send. What you just said here makes no sense at all whatsoever there is nothing redeeming about any of this and may God have mercy on your soul. I'm obviouslybe making a joke right now but honestly how can you possibly have any idea what goes on behind closed doors what goes on with her agent who's interested in having her work and so on and so on? You are an internet nerd. You have no idea how the inside workings of Hollywood actually works.

[Barnack]

The project was good enough for Johnson that must receive a lot of offer (King of Kong was a lot of fun and Horrible boss was good too imo), an impressive co-star goes a long way as a good reason to attach yourself to a project if your value their judgment and track record (look at movie 43 for people saying yes without knowing that the movie is about but Winslet and Jackman signed on)

 

It is always hard judging what someone said yes too, without seeing the list of what they said no.

Not even The Rock can save Paramount. 

 

Do we know the budget?

Only $40M per Wiki...but that sounds really low.  It will be a moneymaker even if it tanks at that budget...
