Posted on the 06 June 2013 by Sirmac2 @macthemovieguy

THE INTERNSHIP- CURRENT ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 29%

“It feels 20 minutes over-full at least.” Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

“Surfs along on the goodwill that Vaughn and Wilson plainly have for each other, and we have for them.”- Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson may be the worst interns since Monica Lewinsky.”- Claudia Puig, USA Today

“Shawn Levy’s 0ccasionally uproarious, warm-hearted comedy is about different generations educating each other, but it never seems rote.”- Ed Gonzalez, Slant

“A feature length commercial filled with mediocre jokes.”- Josh Bell, Las Vegas Weekly

THE PURGE- CURRENT ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 57%

“The Purge clearly has a lot on its mind, but it never really manages to express it.”- Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

“The Purge offers a unique take on the home invasion sub-genre which makes for an entertaining watch thanks to a strong finish, despite sporting poor horror logic.”- Matt Donato, We Got This Covered

“Government officials take a calendar year to agree on the proper temperature of a Hot Pocket, I’m not sure they could legalize murder in just under a decade.”- Brian Orndorf, Blu-ray.com

“Heavy handed satire of a violent, haves vs. have-nots America remade in the NRA and Tea Party’s image.”- Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“Truly original dystopian high concepts don’t come along that often. We should, thus, savour a good one when we encounter it.”- Donald Clarke, Irish Times

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING- CURRENT ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 78%

“Moviegoers will likely have few better options this summer for a good romantic comedy.”- Jake Coyle, Associated Press

“This is an intimate and giddy romantic comedy with only a hint of seriousness, one that is as elegant as it is fun.”- JimmyO, JoBlo’s Movie Emporium

“Bare bones, but sexy.”- Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“Much Ado About Nothing is a cute and stylish modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, but it’s largely unremarkable especially when compared to film versions that are already out there.”- Amy Curtis, We’ve Got This Covered

“Acker might as well be pitted against a body pillow, so shapeless and soft is Denisoff’s presence.”- Marshall Fine, Hollywood and Fine
