ROTTEN TOMATOES: Opening This Week

ROTTEN TOMATOES: Opening This Week

• Transformers 2. You all know what this is. 22% positive reviews, one bazillion theaters. I don't know how many theaters there are, but it's in all of them.
  
• My Sister's Keeper. Chick-flick counter programming to Transformermania. 2600 theaters, 82% positive reviews. That percentage is deceptive. It's based on 9 positive out of 11 total. To give you an idea what the movie is like, let me cite what one reviewer wrote: "Like a Lifetime disease-of-the-week movie on steroids ... tugs at your heartstrings so relentlessly that by the time it's over you might require a defibrillator." On the other hand, one of the two negative reviews came from the Village Voice, and they have a nearly perfect track record of being wrong, so maybe it's OK after all.
