If all of “Getaway” were as smooth and seductive as that single late scene, I’d have no complaints about the ridiculously contrived plot, or the uselessness of Gomez, who is such a doll-like figure that it’s as if Minnie Mouse were sitting next to Hawke spewing obscenities, supplying exposition and flipping off the bad guys. (We get it, Selena: After this and “Spring Breakers,” you’re no longer a Disney kid. So what?)
Besides being the least convincing carjacker in the history of movies, with her chipmunk cheeks and Disney Channel spunk, her presence in the movie is so clunky and perfunctory if the filmmakers were to give her a name it might as well be Expository Plot Device.
I've decided that whenever Bianca FINALLY decides to release her single I'll become "Hive." But not like I do with P!nk. It will be much more fun than that.
Like when you were about to join the Fighters if YB smashed.
Meanwhile, the weekend's other new openers bombed hard. Getaway opened in ninth place with just $4.5 million ($5.6 million four-day), which is on par with Dark Castle Entertainment's Bullet to the Head. The movie never looked particularly good, had a light marketing effort, and received awful reviews, so this debut is about in line with expectations. It received an awful "C+" CinemaScore, and should disappear from theaters quickly.
Quote:
The critically-panned kidnapping thriller Getaway failed to connect with paying audiences opening in tenth place to $5.6M. Averaging a weak $2,632 from 2,130 locations, the PG-13 film released by Warner Bros. and starring Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez also disappointed those who did come out and buy tickets earning a lackluster C+ grade from CinemaScore. Getaway is a prime example of the kind of film that studios quietly dump out at the end of the summer movie season knowing that is has zero chance of succeeding.
For them Gaga will be always the best singer who ever lived on Earth. They love her more than God
Can't wait for MV for Gorilla, hope it will be as dope as his VMA performance
It's the only way to save that single now tbh It's a great song but not single material. If he released a amazing video for it, maybe it could actually slay but I doubt, his last videos were very simple.
The fact that Lady Gaga's unreleased demos from back when she had less creative control are better than her lead singles now...EMBARRASSED to have stanned for her.
