I loved this movie. It was heart warming, funny, and very nostalgic for me. I highly recommend this movie for an enjoyable, entertaining experience.

Top Critical Review

“Not a real indication of movie or TV quality”

The reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are frequently purged of negative reviews and favorable critic reviews are promoted. This is likely done because there is a motivation to avoid negative reviews due to financial considerations. In short, if they let you see that a movie has a ton of bad reviews, you are less likely to go see it and the movie doesn't make much money. There is little doubt that movie houses and studios pay RT to prop up inferior products for the sole pursuit of making money.

I signed up with my internet name and it used my real name! I could not change it and tried to delete my account, but found that you have to call an 800 number, wait a long time, and then call again, and again, and again. I can't think of another website that I have encountered since maybe 1998 that made me call to cancel my account. As far as the ratings go, it is widely known that the professional reviewers are mostly male and that they suppress reviews on a whim. Not recommended or reliable.

Try to leave a review for the Leftist Agenda Political "FILM" Immigration Nation - I dare you. It's a bunch of propaganda for the Democrats who want to destroy our entire country! I live in Texas and I can ASSURE YOU, that immigration is RUINING our cities, neighborhoods, and states with VIOLENT CRIMES - AGAINST CHILDREN! F YOU, Libs and F YOU Rotten Tomatoes!

Rotten Tomatoes "audience score" is now manipulated and artificially boosted to make bad movies look good. Unfortunately the never ending need for corporate profits killed what was once a useful resouce. Now all we have is IMDB and other other less slick options.

I use to think that this was a good site till it ruined an unbelievable movie that I would have rated atleast a b+ and this site gave it like 20%... Over the years I have leaned not to trust this site as the "Critics" apparently do not know what they are talking about. I have learned over time to look at the Google Reviews of the movie as it is real people that have watched the movie or show and either liked it or thought it was terrible.

Dont trust this site for your movies.

Rotten tomatoes has constantly downgraded movies that are actually pretty good. I think it's their political views, they don't go by the average viewers thoughts about if they actually liked a movie

In order to find some time for general relaxation or perhaps additional learning, I accepted the offer to watch films at my own request. And? The result is neutral. Each subsequent film had no final result. It was not interesting.

It doesnt allow to make up your own mind. Too much of a influence without sense of direction. My daughter has no remorse in changing points of view of what was thought to her because defending something she only has learned through this site. BAb Bad

Nobody but nobody ever reads Rotten Tomatoes to find a good movie. Uplifting for the perversion and diminishing for entertainment is their group philosophy...

Negative reviews of movies are frequently removed - despite their accuracy and depth, as this site is owned by the movie industry. For example, I wrote a few paragraphs about how I had a disdain for She-Hulk, pointing out its lack of humor and the countless continuity errors the show made. Couldn't find it as a regular user when I went out of my way to search for it.
That's why you never see reviews with more than 3 sentences on the site, because actual in-depth reviews that make the movie industry look bad in any way - with evidence behind their claims, as little as the violations cannot be allowed. Just the biggest haters, who you can label as salty biased fanboys of rival properties (why it's not purged) and the biggest fans are what you see of reviews.
Never do you see a review in the middle, there is always a big divide. "Babylon" (2022) has most of its reviews with the score in the middle, but the actual score summaries either paint it as the worst thing to ever hit theaters or an artistic masterpiece that only an absolute creative visionary could make. The same thing happened with "The Whale" and "The Apology" - the site is an absolute joke, even when most reviews are in the middle it somehow finds a way to showcase only the supposed catastrophes of a film or the grand victories in every review, with the tone seemingly switching to see as if everybody was watching a different movie.

Tip for consumers:
Just pick a few critics you trust on movies instead of using this site to inform yourself about the latest pieces of cinema, it's utterly useless.

I used the site's review functionality and nothing else.

Unless you click further, which few actually do, they do not show you the complete ratings. They only show you ratings of those who bought movie tickets in a certain fashion. In addition, it is thought that they artificially change ratings by removing ratings.

The expert reviews are very biased here compared to other sites like IMBD. It is quite often to see a movie get nearly full marks as an expert, but a rotten score from the users, and vice versa. This is almost always political, such as if it is a feminist movie (see reviews for Taking Down the House, versus Chapelle's Sticks and Stones).

What I've notice when Rotten Tomatoes do reviews, they don't mention black women leads. Very biased.

Ridley Scott must get a volume discount for hiring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The hiring of these two, trivializes the work. It is elementary, that the problem with well-known actors is that they cannot escape their established personas. Use of new or unfamiliar faces would have made the stilted, forced attempts to create accents more believable. Game of Thrones is a perfect example. When it appeals least is when a popular, well-known personality is given a role, i.e.Ed Sheehan. Following his masterpiece, Gladiator, the bar that he himself created is high and will forever challenge and haunt him—like many great artist who attempt to repeat past successes. The opening battle scenes—the thunderous sound of horses galloping, snow lightly falling, screams of the dying and the attackers, gray forest backdrop—all replays of Gladiator direction. Box office success is never guaranteed with historic films, even when produced by a master—especially in today's 5-minute-internet attention span. Ridley is the master of this genre, but the main characters in a foreign-based historic film, should, at the very least, have an accent (French, British, whatever) that does not remind one of an American high school Shakespeare production that went on way too long. However, Ridley remains the master.

This website is bought and paid for by Disney. Ghostbusters 2016? Captain Marvel? The Last Jedi? These movies are actually rated far worse than RT would have you believe, but the website actively engages in manipulating and covering up reviews to get the best rating possible. As a result, Rotten Tomatoes is just an advertisement masquerading as a review site.

Just think about it... Who nowadays can trust ratings of a web site like this? People love different movies. In a past few years everyone just stopped looking for reviews or ratings because it has no point anymore. You like something - you watch it. It's all simple.

I'll be short, I just wanted to say that I hate rotten tomatoes (horror) movie review site which is composed by allegedly horror movie expert veterans, who for the most part have absolutely not a clue what good horror movie looks like, or a bad one for that matter. They have absolutely no credibility, zero zilch, nada when it comes to horror movie opinions. I can't even consider seriously anything they say. And so in the world of horror movies, they shouldn't even have a say. Nobody should listen to them, they are pure trash to avoid like the plague. Apart from a tiny few exceptions of reviewers whom I agree with, each time I read their review previews makes me want to punch the wall and grab my machete and go for a walk around Camp Crystal Lake searching for new blood... Ironically, they don't know it yet, but the rotten tomatoes are all waiting for them.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site and its so-called expert reviewers like the plague, maybe you too will find some horror movie gems, that you will be proud of and won't fall for the senseless hype these guys are putting out... Rotten Tomatoes when it comes to horror is pure BS.

Rottentomatoes has long since lost it's way, it used to be a group of true critics that actually cared for thier fellow fans, no more, now sliding any money thier way will make it keel over to try and help whatever company, and does anyone else find it odd that everytime they love a movie the general fandom hates it, and everytime they hate a movie, the general fandom loves said movie? I think it's time for a career change rotten tomatoes as your failing at doing anything correct anymore, what happened to your self edecate? Did you at least let the fans have thier opinion? Nope because now your deleting reviews from 'nonprofessional' critics who happen to be better at doing your job then you will ever be.

Rotten Tomatoes might be fun for rating and reviewing movies and TV shows, but only the critics' opinions are actually listened to and not ignored. If you really want your opinion to matter, go to a different review site. It's an okay website.

Tip for consumers:
Go to IMDb or Metacritc if you're not happy with this instead.

I don't enjoy giving low rated reviews however Rotten Tomatoes users have no taste in good films, i can drop money and bet that if they praised a film, it is terrible, if they hate it i probably love it, in this ironic way it is helpful but not in the way it's intended, the reviews are often troll worthy, I have a hard time taking them seriously

For example their idea of a good film is recent Baby Driver (2017) which immediately starts out with the most awful background music I have ever encountered, it is literally torturous and Angel Egort as "baby" is immediately annoying, i can barely stand the first 10 minutes. Yet they have no problem slandering Fast And Furious or Transformers which by contrast have excellent choices in music such as rap, rnb, nu metal etc as opposed to blues, ska, reggae and are so much more cool, more sophisticated and action packed

The Tomato people appreciate the utterly abysmal It Follows horror film but have no problem slandering Some Kind Of Hate they review poorly with there strange opinion being that a film crammed with dialogue, boring character development and appeal to emotion fallacies are what i consider time wasted not getting to the point is more valuable than explosions and blood-shed. The lack of intelligent observation of the things that a film needs to be awesome is insult to my intelligence.

A lot of film critics are self-appointed, egotistical and more importantly clueless, they are completely out of touch and as aforementioned, very difficult to take the vast majority of the reviews on this site seriously having sat and watched what they praised compared to what they dislike, for me I believe the opposite is true.

Once you make an account you cannot delete it. Plus, it isn't an online community as advertised. You need to be a registered professional reviewer to do anything of value on this website.

Don't be fooled by the false advertising.

I just won't watch a movie unless it has a solid rotten tomatoes review and rating. Popcorn ratings are good too but only when side by side. Nuff said!
