I refuse to believe this can be better than Mall Cop 2, let alone a critically acclaimed hit.

Actually, Rotten Tomatoes is not the only one that touted this movie. I've been hearing its reasonably funny. I'll wait until it streams though. Mall Cop 2 was horrible though. Anyone seen the Entourage Douchebag pic?

Have you actually seen it or are you just judging it because of Melissa McCarthy? I dont like her either but I'm not at all surprised that a movie with Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Allison Janney etc would be rated so high, that's an impressive line up. I've read several favorable reviews so far.

The 95% means 95% of the critics that have turned in reviews gave it a thumbs up

I'm definitely just judging it based on McCarthy being the main star, Jude Law or not.

LOL So people who have actually seen it give it a thumbs up, but people like you who haven't seen it give it a thumbs down?

But I probably won't see it also because of MM. She's like Rosie O'Donnell to me---a little bit goes a looong way.

Not a theater movie for me, but the cast looks good enough to watch at home later on.

There are very few coms that are truly good & worth a theater view. This will be one for me with this cast. MM is a talented person and it seems like she just hit a homerun.

She was great in "The Heat" as well.

Melissa McCarthy was great in Identify Thief.. I just hope they don't play out the "hey look at me I'm fat" shtick and make her annoying.

Melissa McCarthy was also good in St. Vincent, that movie overall was pretty funny. Bill Murray was great as the old douchebag who hates life.

It's just a crazy coincidence. Someone already explained it's not regular ratings. 95% just said "yes" instead of "no". I seriously doubt anyone actually has high praise for this movie. IMDB is a better indicator.

I use metacritic.

Funny thread. I wondered the same thing when I heard it on the Radio this morning.

Anyone seen the Entourage Douchebag pic?

First movie I have seen in a theater in over a year.
And im really glad I went.

Now I know how really awful a movie can be. I would be totally embarrassed to be seen at any point in that piece of shit. Can't believe Warren Buffet actually made an appearance, like he needs the money...
Seriously Fckn horrendous, stay away if you have any sense of self worth unless you need perspective of what depths pitiful can reach.

Total and complete suckage.

:lol I watched Entourage the show while it was running, and I still wouldn't go see the movie..the show was bad, not sure why anybody expects better from the movie, tbh..

Concept is outdated, actors are poor, show ran it's course after season 4 or so IIRC..

I liked the first one too much. Hell I loved Thunderdome.

Netflix creates a buttered popcorn glut at the theatre.

I was fishing in Rockport, we had a great day, my cousin says all these sports talk show hosts wanted too see it
So we go. After said debacle he slapped himself upside his big sidewall head and then burned himself alive. Immolation was the only way out. I then pulverized his ashes and fed 'him' to wood rats.

Oh concept...

What frrgn concept? It was a total all over the place mess.

Yeah, Entourage was definitely not a good show. Was listening to some local guys on the radio and they were bashing it, and they had a great point that it relies heavily on cameos to stay afloat because the main characters are weak and the acting is poor. There is no solid character development within the show. Apparently Sex in the City was better :lol

Mark this date I agree with Blake!
