RT Freshness: 29%

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.”

Directed by: Garry Marshall

Plot: The lives of a bunch of Los Angelenos intersect on Valentine’s Day.

RT Freshness: 16%
