I almost don’t want to write this post but I’m going to cowboy up and get through it. The fact of the matter is that this weekend’s new releases are absolutely atrocious. I highly recommend watching something that already came out but if you really feel the need to watch either one of these here’s the gist.
Fired Up!
Starring: Sarah Roemer, Nick D’Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Molly Sims
Directed by: Will Gluck
Plot: Two jocks head to cheer camp in attempt to score.
Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 28%
Critic Consensus: “Though not as raunchy or juvenile as the average teen comedy, Fired Up is also not as funny.”
Madea Goes to Jail
Starring: Tyler Perry, Derek Luke, Keisha Knight Pulliam
Directed by: Tyler Perry
Plot: Tyler Perry’s old lady alter ego gets thrown into jail after getting involved in a high speed freeway chase.
RT Freshness: N/A (Not one critic has seen this movie yet)
Instead of a Critic Consensus can I just say that when the hell is this madness going to stop? Tyler Perry already controls 1/3 of TBS and it seems like a new crappy movie of his comes out every few weeks. For the love of god, make it stop.
I'm your main feature writer and co-creator and have a love for all movies from the Oscar darlings to the Bargain Bin rejects.
