RT Freshness: 29%
Critic Consensus: “Suitably grand and special effects-laden, The Wolfman suffers from a suspense-deficient script and a surprising lack of genuine chills.”

Directed by: Chris Colombus
Plot: After finding out he’s the son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson joins up with two other demi-god teens to save his mother and recover Zeus’ lightning bolt before a devastating war between the gods takes place.

Critic Consensus: “Though it may seem like just another Harry Potter knockoff, Percy Jackson benefits from a strong supporting cast, a speedy plot, and plenty of fun with Greek mythology.”
Valentine’s Day
Starring: Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba and more.
Directed by: Garry Marshall
Plot: The lives of a bunch of Los Angelenos intersect on Valentine’s Day.
RT Freshness: 16%
Critic Consensus: “Eager to please and stuffed with stars, Valentine’s Day squanders its promise with a frantic, episodic plot and an abundance of rom-com cliches.”
