Alita’s daddy.

Rated PG-13 for suggestive material, language and brief nudity.

This is at 57%. Granted it could go lower but not a bad start. 

[Jonan23]

Uncle Drew still at 56% with 34 reviews in. This movie being over 50% is the biggest summer surprise for me yet.

[Empire]

Saw it just now and I liked it. It wasn’t great, but it made me laugh.

41% audience rating - rotten tomatoes

57% tomatometer out of 35 reviews

 

cinemascore will probably be a better indication of how the opening weekend legs will be for this one.  I think Uncle Drew and Sicario will get pummeled next weekend by Ant Man 2.

[WrathOfHan]

The audience score is down to 29%, but there’s only a couple hundred votes. Yeah, definitely need to wait for the CinemaScore

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the film to be honest.  It has been legend (or a known fact, I suppose) that NBA players can’t act to save their life. Shaq in “Kazaam” and Michael Jordan in “Space Jam” are prime examples of that. In a surprising turn of events, Kyrie Irving has finally broken that curse for his performance carries the movie. It’s not just the unrecognizable face that is a factor to his performance, but his performance itself. Not only is he unrecognizable by his makeup but his delivery is on point, his comedic timing is amazing, his old man voice is convincing as hell. Even when he has to be dramatic, Irving delivers. He’s been playing Uncle Drew for 5 years now so he knows this character like the back of his hands. You often forget that Irving is under all of that makeup until he shows off his basketball skills.

Hell, even Shaq gives a good performance and IT’S SHAQ! The film gets some great mileage out of him and provides a good character arc between him and Drew. Irving has great chemistry with the rest of his cast. Performance-wise, “Uncle Drew” might be the only movie where NBA stars can deliver good performances.

I agree Kyrie’s acting was good. However, there have been some good acting performances from NBA players before. Lebron was good in Trainwreck and Ray Allen was good in He Got Game.

Pretty good reviews from critics. A 17 million opening weekend and an A Cinamascore. I would say this movie was severely underestimated.

You still sure that Akita will beat this thing?

 

You still have that confidence?

From Cinemacon

Regal is now having a competition where you can win this...I wonder how many there are.

 

Also I had no idea what commercial this was based off of when I saw it.
