I hate Rotten Tomatoes. Despite how it’s widely considered
to be a good barometer for how good/bad a film is, it’s surprisingly broken if
you actually look at the scores. Some of the reviews that are listed as Fresh
or Rotten, if you actually look at even the blurbs on the site itself, are
extremely arbitrary, the actual
overall score is tucked away underneath the big percentage rate, and said
percentage only amounts to how many people liked a film vs. disliked a film.
Not how much, just whichever way their opinion falls. For a site that’s meant
to help show an overall opinion, being misleading is probably the worst thing
you can do. However, with that said, they are especially good in one certain
area: The 0%; the films that absolutely no-one
defended. Given how this illustrious list includes films like C Me Dance, Fred:
The Movie, A Thousand Words and Keith Lemon: The Film, easily some of the worst
films I’ve ever seen, that integer still carries a lot of weight. So, what does
that say when today’s subject is only one of the three released by Happy
Madison Productions to have received a 0%? I mean, that’s means that this is
even worse than The Master Of Disguise, That’s My Boy and Paul Blart: Mall Cop,
among so many others? Is this truly that bad? Time to, reluctantly, find out.
