21 Places Bets and Wins Big On 1st Weekend!

Daquan13 · 03-31-2008

12, the movie about 3 guys gambling in Las Vegas, has scored big on its 1st weekend in theaters nationwide!

The film has earned about $23M or so this past weekend alone.

Goes to show box office take isn't an indicator of quality of entertainment. This is definately a movie you'll want to wait to rent or watch on HBO. If that.

Have you seen it at all yet? Or do you just feel that it's a waste of time and money?

Rasczak · 04-03-2008

Of course I've seen it. I wasted $20 seeing it with my kids. How else would I know its not worth spending money on at the theatre? (Unless, that is, one thouroughly enjoys films with excruciatingly predictable plots, unbelievable sequences, lackluster acting, not to mention corny dialogue, characters, and romance components.)

You could have tried to find out before you and the kids went to see it. Movie critics usually reviews films and let prople know if they are worth seeing or not.

The waste of money was my own fault. I was aware of the poor reviews, but the kids were excited to see it and seem to have not minded the film's lack of quality. Add children to my list of exceptions above.

Cool, yet another thread has gone from being about something else to being about me.

Possibly the best post i've ever seen. (sorry, off topic)

I don't get, why not just simulate a heart attack and get the hell out. From what i hear (other than your fine rewiew) it's not worth the paper the adds are printed on.

I have yet to hear of anyone going to a theater to see a movie and get a refund for not liking it.
