Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes is a website that rates movies. And being a movie fanatic, I am always looking up new movies to see on wikipedea. And the Rotten Tomatoes score appears which is such a pain. This is because more often than not, they don't people form their own opinion about the movies. Sometimes my friends or I will see that the movie scored low, like below 50%, and I will just not watch it. For example, a friend of mine said that he wouldn't watch Kicking and Screaming because it only scored a 41% on Rotten Tomatoes. Come on guy, how could you not even give the Ferrell and Ditka duo a chance?
The movie was about an overly competitive soccer dad who would do anything to win. It was hilarious! Did you even read the description? I also think that's the problem is the descriptions. The description comes after the rating. So if you even want to read the description, you have to see the score first. Already people gain a bad impression without even reading the description and might not give it a chance. Save your opinion for later Rotten Tomatoes!

I agree. Some films aren't meant to be looked at with a critical mindset, such as the film you listed. I also find that when on those sites, I will see a film listed that I intend to see. So I go and click on the reviews and see that the film has scored badly. Now, I either won't see a film I may have enjoyed or will see the film with the mindset that the film is greatly flawed. These sites serve as great tools for movie-goers but often rotten the experience.
