Project X did 21M a few years ago, with the cast this has, and the appealing (and timely) premise, I can definitely see this going to 25M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it could have an Anchorman 2 kinda run but this Christmas seems waaay too busy for a mid-budget original comedy like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way longer. And not only CBM... I forgot some strange ratings Example: he gave in 2015 both Fantastic4 and Star Wars VII the same rating and both a rotten. I can understand not liking a film = rotten, but to rate those 2 films the same I do not understand He gave 50 shades a 7/10... rather often he rates against the reviewers average and also tomatoemeter. I think I started in 2014 = what has he against some genres or whatever big budget thing, like Godzilla, X-Men Future Past and so on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony has to have a new movie out every 5 years to retain rights and their last iteration wasn't working. Their mistake was re-bootng it the first time with another pushing 30yr old graduating from High School, not what they're doing now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's just something that can and, in my opinion, should be indeed talked about. As long as it's done tastefully I don't see why you can't state what you dislike about a particular's reviewer's style or that indeed his tastes are wildly different from yours. It's all about how you put your point across, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have plenty of movies myself I either like more than most or hate more than most, and individual film critics shouldn't be obligated to completely tow the line; which seems to be the assumption inherent in singling out what a certain critic thought of a "good" movie and a comparative "bad" movie.
