Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 37%

Critic Consensus: “In Time’s intriguing premise and appealing cast is easily overpowered by the stilted filmmaking, which takes a blunt, heavy-handed approach to storytelling”

RT Freshness: 81%

Critic Consensus: “It isn’t deep or groundbreaking, but what it lacks in profundity, Puss in Boots more than makes up for with an abundance of wit, visual sparkle, and effervescent charm”

The Rum Diary

Starring: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, Richard Jenkins, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Rispoli

Directed by: Bruce Robinson

Plot: A reporter moves to Puerto Rico to write for the local paper and becomes involved with the fiance of a corrupt businessman who wants to turn the island to a series of luxury resorts.

RT Freshness: 51%

Critic Consensus: “It’s colorful and amiable enough, and Depp’s heart is clearly in the right place, but The Rum Diary fails to add sufficient focus to its rambling source material”
