I think this is more accessible

It's a competitive season and reviews are looking to be downright toxic. If it makes it to Seven Pounds numbers, it will be extremely lucky.

Damn

 

The Guardian

Quote

 

This horrifyingly yucky, toxically cutesy ensemble dramedy creates a Chernobyl atmosphere of manipulative sentimentality,

topped off with an ending which M Night Shyamalan might reject as too ridiculous

 

 

[TalismanRing]

OK this one is even worse and this movie sounds horrifying

WB is letting Nolan to troll us just to keep our eyes from these reviews

[filmlover]

It really kinda boggles the mind that 2 Oscar winners and 3 (soon to be 4, since Naomie Harris is looking pretty safe atm) nominees got roped into this.

[JennaJ]

Yup. The actors in this are highly regarded enough that I had some interest just based on the talent this drew.

I wonder what attracted them? The concept itself sounds awful enough, nevermind execution.

Starts off on RT with 5 Rottens and 3.5/10.

It's lucky The Village Voice doesn't give grades or that score would be around 2/10

Village Voice gave it a 0 on Metacritic.

I wish I could say I'm surprised by this, but I'm not. The trailers couldn't have made it look more maudlin and self-serious if they tried.

Should've had an embargo that ended right when Rogue One's does. At least would've been drowned out there.

[Kalderic]

Oh snap... I was looking forward to this. I'm certainly questioning my desire to see it now.

[filmlover]

I mean, I'll still probably see this just because of the cast. But my expectations are at the bottom of the ocean now.

[Cochofles]

Damn. 

Will needs to stop doing these mopey roles. I wanna see him being his funny, sunny, charmingly cocky self...

Will probably feels like he has to do it since he's getting older but people enjoy him most in blockbusters. I also think he needs to do some comedies again, so hopefully bad boys 3 actually gets off the ground.

[WeneedtotalkaboutKevin]

As for the bad reviews, WE ALL SAW THAT COMING. The only thing worth wondering, WHY THE HELL did WB even greenlight this?

[John Marston]

the trailer reminded me of this

 

 

 

[JennaJ]

LOL, it now has one positive review from somethin called "Spirituality and Practice".

 

 

COLLATERAL BEAUTY is so embarrassing that I put my coat over my head just to make it through certain sections

When Independence Day Resurgence, the movie Will Smith DIDN'T want to do, has a higher RT% than both Suicide Squad and Collateral Beauty

Eh  I guess this will be The Tourist of the Christmas season.  A-list stars in a crap movie destroyed by critics.
