The PG-13 Footloose remake - 71% positive reviews. There's the shock of the year - and that's based on 78 reviews! HOWEVER - it scores only 47% from the top critics. Roger Ebert assigned only one and a half stars, and said, "This 2011 version is so similar - sometimes song for song and line for line - that I was wickedly tempted to reprint my 1984 review, word for word."
The R-rated re-remake of The Thing - 34% positive reviews.
The Big Year - 50% positive reviews; 67% from the top critics. Well, at least it's not a remake. It's a PG birdwatching comedy with Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin. That sounds about as appealing to me as a root canal, but in the words of the immortal Dalton, "opinions vary." Ebert said, "[It] has an innocence and charm that will make it appealing for families, especially those who have had enough whales and dolphins for the year."
