This week’s Hypable’s Rotten Tomatoes Roundup includes a remake Footloose, a prequel The Thing, a comedy The Big Year and many more!

Below are this week’s qualifiers:

Wide Releases:

Footloose | 73% | While it hews closely to the 1984 original, Craig Brewer infuses his Footloose remake with toe-tapping energy and manages to keep the story fresh for a new generation.

Read our review of Footloose, right here.

The Thing | 33% | It serves the bare serviceable minimum for a horror flick, but The Thing is all boo-scares and a slave to the far superior John Carpenter version.

The Big Year | 42% | Though made with care and affection for its characters, The Big Year merely plods along, rarely reaching any comedic heights.

Limited Release:

Fireflies in the Garden | 20% | Despite boasting a stellar cast, Fireflies in the Garden is just tedious, dull and predictable melodrama. Instantly forgettable.

The Skin I Live In | 82% | The Skin I Live In lacks Almodovar’s famously charged romance, being replaced with a wonderfully bizarre and unpredictable detour into arthouse ick.

Trespass | 15% | Another claustrophobic thriller that Joel Schumacher can churn out in his sleep, Trespass is nasty and aggressive, more unpleasant than entertaining.

Other films opening in limited release include Texas Killing Fields, Chalet Girl, The Woman, and The Father of Invention. To see all the other releases this weekend, click here.
