What makes it Ultra-PC?


I'm curious about this too. I saw something interesting about the reviews on this movie on twitter yesterday though. Someone posted a few of the "fresh" reviews of the movie. If you read them, they weren't actually positive.

ETA: I just glanced at some of the fresh reviews and they gave ratings like 2.5/5 or 2.5/4 and 3/5. I guess ratings are subjective, but where do they draw the line at fresh/rotten?

Rotten tomatoes, as far as individual reviews, rates anything that scores a 50% (or just "not terrible" for ratings that don't give an alphanumeric rating) or higher as "fresh." So as long as it's a 50% rating, it's a positive.

Then, their total rating is changed to give anything with an average "fresh" rating of like 70% or higher as "fresh." But keep in mind, they're basing the average off of the individual "fresh" ratings.

So basically, a film can get nothing but 50% or higher reviews, but get a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
