Genuinely Surprised By This Film's Rating


Now, I'm not going to argue that people rated this movie too low, that they got it wrong or anything like that; everyone has their own opinions. I know that and I'm not trying to defend this movie at all.

What I am surprised by is that this movie's rating differs so much from what I would expect it to have. Usually when I watch a movie I will have a pretty good idea of what sort of rating it probably has on here. I'm not claiming to be an expert at this, but I imagine it's usually pretty obvious to people when a movie will get high praise and when it won't.

Regarding its rating, I thought this movie would be around 6 stars, maybe 6.5. The movie wasn't great, but I found it entertaining the whole way through, thought it was better than I'd generally expect from this sort of movie (especially considering a pop star is one of the leads) and didn't see anything particularly egregious. But 4.4 stars? I'd usually expect that sort of rating for a movie with some combination of low-quality production values, amateur acting, wince-inducing humour, etc. Something like a modern parody movie or the low-budget Asylum movie, i.e. Pretty much every modern low-budget ripoff movie (Snakes on a Train) or modern low-budget monster movie (Sharknado).

Again, not arguing this should be higher; just surprised people hated it as much as they appear to have.

I could tell this was 4.4 Before even clicking on it when the picture and title showed up on moviechat's front page

“Everyone” is singular. I’m pointing out your lack of education, which amuses me more than this POS alleged movie did.

Not even going to get into the “dangling participle” fuckup with you.
