I just wanted add more proof to this position.

These are the top 9 movies last week. Notice the Rotten Tomatoes ranking. (Based on all movie reviews averaged out)

1 - I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry - 14%

2 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 77%

3 - Hairspray - 93%

4 - Transformers - 57%

5 - Ratatouille - 96%

6 - Live Free or Die Hard - 80%

7 - License To Wed - 8%

8 - 1408 - 76%

9 - Evan Almighty - 24%

It's pretty obvious that the average dope doesn't spend their money the same way the critics would.
