The Against the Crowd Blogathon 2021 is being hosted by Dell on Movies<\/a>, and you can read more about it here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Basically, you chose two movies from Rotten Tomatoes – one to go against and one to defend. The movie you go against should have a Fresh rating of 75%<\/em> or more, and the movie you defend should have a Rotten at 35%<\/em> or less. And, if you decide to take part, make sure you use the hashtag #AgainsttheCrowd2021<\/em> on social media! So, without further ado, here are my two choices for the Against the Crowd Blogathon 2021!<\/p>\n

Frozen<\/strong> – 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This movie was huge. It still is, to be honest. I don’t think Frozen<\/em> is a terrible film, but when I watched it, I honestly didn’t understand the hype. I didn’t really like any of the characters, and the songs were pretty mediocre, though okay, fine, Let It Go was pretty catchy the first gazillion times I heard it. And having three girls, I heard it a lot.<\/p>\n

It seems silly to compare the two, but given they were released within three years of each other, I really wish Tangled<\/em> had gotten the kind of attention that Frozen<\/em> did. To me, Tangled<\/em> is a far superior movie. I don’t know what it is about Frozen<\/em>, but I just don’t like it, and I can’t quite grasp how it’s so popular.<\/p>\n

Practical Magic<\/a><\/strong>–26% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

How does this movie have a 26% rotten score? This is why I hate Rotten Tomatoes! Practical Magic<\/em> is not cinema, but it’s such a romantic, cozy <\/i>movie. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman both shine on the screen, and you can never go wrong with Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest! A tale of magic, curses, and sisterhood… oh man, is this Frozen<\/em>?? (Just kidding.<\/p>\n

If there is a movie that just begs to be watched around autumn, it’s Practical Magic<\/em>, and it deserves much more love than those RT critics (boo on them).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
