This week's new theatrical movies - Rotten Tomatoes

As of this moment:

Crazy, Stupid Love: 72% positive. "The marriage of Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore) is breaking up. Emily has been sleeping with a dull guy in her office (Kevin Bacon, in an unwritten part), and Cal, hearing this news from Emily as she drives them through Los Angeles (the movie’s geography is a little vague), opens the car door and drops to the street like a misplaced bag of groceries. Jacob (Ryan Gosling), the king of the bar scene, takes pity on the cuckold and teaches him how to pick up women."

Cowboys and Aliens: a disappointing 50% positive plus the kiss of death (a good review from the Village Voice). The general consensus is that the film is still a concept waiting for a script. Quote o' the day: "I don't care if you write Pirates and Dinosaurs or Unicorns vs. Robots, you can't go on lunch after coming up with the title." No matter how weak the script, there will be enough fanboys at the film to give it a decent run at the box office.

The Smurfs: 0% positive. Zero seems a little smurfin' high. It's based on just five reviews, so it doesn't mean much, but I don't think anyone involved in this project will need to clear any extra space on the mantel for Oscars.)
