  • not that bad

    by lov2dance

    people are making it out to be a really bad movie, but most teens really dont care how stupid the movie is! heck the adults may hate the movie but as long as teens have a good laugh, they dont care. if you like stupid movies like scary movie 1,2,3, and 4, the epic movie, and others that are some what stupid spoofs, then you will like this. but if you dont like thoses kinds of movies, then dont go!!!!

    Useless reviews

    by fairisfair

    *PLEASE READ*
    I'm am a frequent user of fandango.com, and have been for a long time. One thing ive noticed is that people will post reviews about movies, and they havent even seeen that movie. Maybe they dont understand what a REVIEW is. Because saying a movie "looks funny" or "i cant wait to see it when it comes out" is not a review in the least, it is a preview. So stop posting useless reviews, and as you read other peoples reviews, disregard those of people who never even saw the movie. And another thing, dont give a movie a negative review just because it is crude, sexual, or contains too much swearing. I dont care if your 11 year old *** didnt like the scene with the kssing, the movie is rated R.
    Also, i have seen The Comebacks, it is pretty good.
