BEAUTIFUL CREATURES PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 35 moviegoers:Â
TEENS:Â The lone male loved "Beautiful Creatures" as did most of the ladies. Only one female rated it an average movie.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS:Â The one male loved it as did all four of the females.
ADULTS:Â These are some pretty mixed reviews. About two-thirds of the males loved it but the remaining third only rated it as an average movie. The female reviews are very similar. Just over half loved it with a few rating it above average. This left about a quarter rating it average.
Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be best with the target audience of young females, and on the whole reactions will be good. Females will enjoy more than males, and scores will lower as ages go up.

SIDE EFFECTS R
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 64 moviegoers:Â
TEENS:Â The one male loved "Side Effects" as did the females.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS:Â The three male reviews are low to very low. The female reviews are better but still very mixed. Close to a third loved it, a few more rated it above average, but over half rated it average to well below average. These are really too mixed to be of much help.
ADULTS: A few males loved it and a few rated it low, but most rated it a movie they enjoyed very much. About a third thought it was average. The female reviews are slightly better with more loving "Side Effects." Overall, two-thirds of both males and females enjoyed this movie very much with just a small percentage rating it below average.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be good for this thriller. Younger adults may enjoy over older ones. Men and women will enjoy about equally.

STAND UP GUYS R
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 34 moviegoers:Â
These three major actors certainly didn't draw a major crowd. From multiple showings we were only able to collect 34 reviews.
TEENS:Â The three males all enjoyed it very much with two loving it. The lone female also loved "Stand Up Guys."
TWENTYSOMETHINGS:Â The one male only rated it average.
ADULTS:Â These are definitely not the best reviews. A small percentage of males rated it above average, but the vast majority only rated it as an average movie. A few rated it very low. The female reviews aren't much better. A very small percentage truly enjoyed it. About a third rated it above average and another third rated it just average. A few also rated it very low.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be good for this comedy-drama, especially with the target of older adults. Men will prefer over women.

PARKER R
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 41 moviegoers:Â
TEENS:Â The lone male loved it.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS:Â Both the males and females all loved "Parker."
ADULTS: Not the greatest reviews from either the males or females. Only about a quarter of the males loved it. Quite a few more enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, nearly half only rated it as a good/average movie, which is a bit low, especially considering the star power in this movie. The female reviews are somewhat better but there were still quite a few who weren't real impressed.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be good for this action film. Men will generally prefer over women, and while younger viewers will prefer over older ones, this may have a bit more appeal to older adults than most Jason Statham films.

THE LAST STAND R
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 47 moviegoers:Â
TEENS:Â The two males loved it as did the two ladies.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS:Â The male reviews vary as much as the professional critic reviews. Two loved it, one rated it "above average," two more rated it "good/average," and one rated it "poor."
ADULTS:Â Solid reviews from both the males and females. In fact, the females enjoyed it slightly more than the males. Only a few of the ladies rated "The Last Stand" on the low side. About a quarter of the males rated it "good/average" or lower.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be good for this popcorn actioner, especially with the target audience of young males. Men in general will definitely prefer over women, and scores will lower as ages go up.
