Did you check their website?

I'll probably make it a double feature with Apes too on Monday after work.

I've seen the trailer maybe 5 or 6 times now before other movies. This looks godawful.

I totally understand people finding it bad. It kind of is but I also found it to be a decent time-waster and was exactly what I expected. Apparently they cut like 11 minutes from it to make it PG-13. Would definitely be interested in seeing an "R" version.

6/10 (B-)

They should have kept it R. PG-13 isn't helping it at the box office at all.

Broad Green’s Wish Upon per industry estimates is looking at $1.5M today and $4M for the weekend.

That sort of thinking will never change. It's like baseball teams giving insane contracts to players like Pablo Sandoval and Josh Hamilton, it blows up in their faces, so what do they do? Give an insane contract to someone else.

Took me back to the early 2000s when movies like this were all the craze. The stereotypes, the bad dialogue, the poor acting, predictable plot twists, this movie had it all. My favorite part was how they made it seem they were setting up a clever twist and then followed it up with literally no twist at all.

Possibly the funniest movie of the year. I laughed many times.

1/5

Perfect. That's all I need to know. I'm going to love this.

To be fair, not all "insane contracts" blow up in the team's face. Clayton Kershaw is a great example, with a $215,000,000 contract that seems to be paying off quite well. And even though he's not having a good year so far this year (I don't think he's healthy, frankly) Miguel Cabrera's 8-year ~$250,000,000 contract has turned out quite well so far. Scherzer's $210,000,000 contract has been called a bargain by many. Etc.

This movie was so bad it was good. Reminded me of those mid 2000 horror films that were coming out every month. Lol.
3/5

.5/5 and that's literally only for her sassy friend.

This was what I envision a 12 year old thinks is scary when going to their first horror movie with a group of friends. I predicted the ending within the first five minutes and everything that preceded the ending was just as cliched and predictable.

At least it sounds hilariously bad. Shame, as I was kind of curious about the film.

[jacobsever]

Saw this is and it was everything I wanted it to be. Can't give it a perfect rating, but it's damn near that for me. Easily a personal 4.5/5. Did everything I wanted to, and wasn't anything for me to complain or object to.

This definitely isn't for everyone, but it fit my personal (twisted) sense of humor just perfectly.

No. That's cute though.

The Box has a simple box that rewards people with one gift of one million dollars and a stranger's life is the only cost.

Wish Upon has a music box that grants seven wishes of your choice but the life of someone close to you is the cost

[Show spoiler]followed by your, the wisher's, life

Yeah I know what they're about.
That's why they remind me of one another.....2 seconds after I saw the previews.

This is going to be down to 1 showtime per day at most theaters here this weekend. Yeesh.

It'll still have 5 or 6 showtimes per day down in my neighborhood.
