Admit One 6/4

It’s a crowded weekend at the box office but are any of these movies actually good?  Let’s see what Rotten Tomatoes has for us.

Get Him to the Greek

Starring: Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Rose Byrne, Sean Combs

Directed by: Nick Stoller

Plot: Aaron Greenberg gets a career making opportunity when he gets tasked with escorting rock god Aldous Snow from London to Los Angeles’ Greek Theater.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 74%

Critic Consensus: “Thanks to a suitably raunchy script and a pair of winning performances from Jonah Hill and Russell Brand, Get Him to the Greek is one of the year’s funniest comedies.”

Splice

Starring: Adrian Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chaneac

Directed by: Vincenzo Natali

Plot: A pair of brilliant genetic engineers create the first human/animal hybrid but things quickly get out of hand.

RT Freshness: 72%

Critic Consensus: “It doesn’t take its terrific premise quite as far as it should, but Splice is a smart, well-acted treat for horror fans.”

Marmaduke

Starring: Owen Wilson, Judy Greer, Lee Pace, William H. Macy

Directed by: Tom Dey

Plot: Marmaduke is a Great Dane and he’s really big so hilarity ensues.

RT Freshness: 11%

Critic Consensus: “Dull and unfunny, Marmaduke offers family filmgoers little more than another round of talking animals and scatological humor.”

Killers

Starring: Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Tom Sellack, Catherine O’Hara

Directed by: Robert Luketic

Plot: After getting married, Jen finds out her husband Spencer is secretly a secret agent/hitman and the two have to go on the run after a number of other hitmen start gunning for him.
