Disney is in the habit of releasing an inspiration sports story movie at least once a year. They would prolly benefit from a bigger market push since they're usually well-received by audiences.

Wow, that's not good for HTTM2. Especially the Cinemascore. I was gonna try to catch it this weekend, but I may just wait for the Blu-ray(or digital copy) at this point.

Surprisingly good box office for The Duff. I thought it was ok, but still better than most teen movie crap that Hollywood churns out.

I'll be seeing the Duff bright and early at 9am tomorrow. The positive reviews, A Cinemascore and good word of mouth have really piqued interest for me.

Not pretty for HTTM 2. C- cinemascore, $6.5M opening.

It was great, my fav film of the year thus far. Like a more raunchy Mean Girls.

Then I saw Hot Tub Time Machine 2....which was painfully unfunny.

Ouch HTTM2. I saw it and only laughed once or twice. Was definitely not needed. The best part was Clark Duke's girlfriend.
