ROTTEN TOMATOES: Opening This Week

ROTTEN TOMATOES: Movies Opening This Week

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: 56% positive reviews, 3000 theaters. Family fare based on a popular series of "illustrated novels."

Bounty Hunter: 14% positive reviews, 3000 theaters. Rom-com with King Leonidas and Aniston. Ebert awarded a star and a half and wrote: "I stared with glazed eyes at The Bounty Hunter. Here is a film with no need to exist."

Repo Men: 22% positive reviews, 2500 theaters. High concept sci-fi flick with gory action. Ebert assigned it two stars and wrote: "I don't know if the makers of this film intended it as a comedy. A preview audience regarded it with polite silence, and left the theater in an orderly fashion. There are chases and shootouts, of course, and a standard overwrought thriller soundtrack, with the percussion guy hammering on cymbals and a big bass drum. Even then, you wonder."
