Why didn't they review Grown Ups and Jonah Hex?


Those movies were screened for critics right?

They did reviewed "Grown Ups" recently, but not "Jonah Hex". They both gave a negative review.

Grownups was, I am not sure about Jonah Hex. I did see that they reviewed Grown Ups, but it would have the look of a movie to be panned by many critics. They might not had had time enough in the show to review the movie, or maybe Philips or Scott or both might not have seen the movie yet. Since you figure a lot of movies are screened from the critics ahead of time, but they might not always have enough time to see all the ones released, and some of them, they might not seen or choose not to see because they see it as it being a bad movie.

They reviewed Grown-Ups but not Jonah Hex. I think it was screened for the critics. Roger Ebert reviewed it.

They definitely reviewed Grown Ups, not sure about Jonah Hex.
