"Okay, you get back to work; I'll wait for you to come back so we can eat together."
After hanging up the phone, Link flipped through the news on his tablet and saw a flood of negative reviews for "Bridesmaids" on professional film websites like Entertainment Online. Over ten famous film critics had publicly disparaged the movie.
Some ridiculed the plot as awkward and unfit for normal viewers, others complained about the unlikable protagonist, and some argued that Link was not suited for comedy, which felt jarring.
Originally, "Bridesmaids" had enjoyed a good rating on professional sites, with a B from media aggregates, an A- from Yahoo audience sites, and a 72% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, which was not bad compared to "Thor" released in the same period.
In just one day, the media aggregate score dropped to B-, Yahoo audiences to B, and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness plunged to 63%, with several film rating sites bombarded with negative reviews.
