twenty-seven dresses
before we even picked a showtime, i figured that i should wait to check the rotten tomatoes reviews until after we’d seen the movie because rotten tomatoes always convinces me not to see movies even though i know that i basically always agree with their fresh ratings, and only agree with their rotten ratings about 50-70% of the time (which makes sense because a “Fresh” movie is a 6.0 or better on a 10.0 scale, so a lot of people would still mark the movie better than 5 and i could just be in that expanded group. i put too much thought into my movie ratings, don’t i?) of course, after we picked a showtime the rest of the internet got boring and i eventually wandered to rottentomatoes. here’s the verdict. 37%. That’s one person out of a hundred for every dress in the title of the movie plus ten. I figure, I’ve seen worse (I’ve also never disagreed with a rating below ten percent). So we go to the movie, cos i’ve already committed to seeing it.
i don’t exactly regret seeing it. But it is the first time that I’ve ever thought a rating was too high. to katherine heigl: don’t you think should stop spending the majority of the script pining over a largely underattractive guy named George. what works in grey’s anatomy doesn’t work every time… ask a doctor.
