So, let me understand something...

 

RT collects reviews. The tomatometer is at 84% now, while the topic critic tomatometer is at 85%. So, it's certified fresh, which is fine.

 

Trouble is that the critic average rating is 6.9/10. So, how the hell critics can like and/or love a movie, by giving it a 6.9 grade, which is basically a C? lol.  That's one of the reasons people shoudln't even take RT seriously. We have critics liking a movie and then giving it average scores ( if we go by numbers, 6.9 is a C grade ).

 

 

 

 

Movies are usually not rated the same way school grades are, and most definitely not in the RT conversion scale  

 

A 3 out of 4  star movie when you break it down numerically is 75% but is most definitely not a C grade.  It's a B. 

 

2/4= C, 1/4= D,  0/4= F

 

The Tomatometer isn't a grade for the movie it's how many of the reviewers gave it a recommend or passing grade and here the avg is nearly a 7/10 which means the general consensus is it's good.

Not Talkies fault if someone takes it for something other than its intended purpose. It's not porn Dex.  Lighten up.

A 6.9 average rating (it's actually 7.0 now) is pretty good. Not great, but it indicates an interested audience will likely leave satisfied

My uncle taking me to see South Park when I was 13 is something I'll always remember. Makes me wish I had a nephew (or random impressionable teen) I could take to Sausage Party.

Imagine if half of that number is from ignorant parents who don't know any better. That'd be kinda hilarious.

Considering a mother stayed with her young son the whole movie at my showing last night, maybe not. The people that stormed out were a couple probably early 20's who looked like they left cause the girlfriend thought the movie was dumb.

The tomatometer is a Yes/No question, with the % being the amount of Yes to No. It is either liked or disliked, no room in-between, so the problem with your analogy is, where does a "C" fall in that. You expect critics to give it a No because it is an average movie. (Along with the fallacy that an average movie cannot be liked).

Well the vegetables were alive too so... I feel like at that age I would have been traumatized by that scene in the movie especially seeing it with my mom.
