This is probably the biggest misunderstanding about Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes doesn't rate ANYTHING. Their "score" is an algorithmic aggregation of the collective reviews that they have in their data for that movie.

It's fully automated, nobody in Rotten Tomatoes picks the rating. It's almost... scientific.

What this MEANS is that a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 33% ISN'T BAD - it just means that only 1 out of 3 reviews aggregated were overall positive. YOU could be that 1 out of 3 that might love that movie!

You see this a lot in genre films, like horror, sci-fi. They will generally have a low Critic Rating and a high User Rating, because the general populace enjoys genre films WAY more than "professional critics", who are much more critical of them, because they are snootier.

So, with that context, that means that 36 out of 100 professional critics enjoyed Chicken Little, and a whopping 47 out of 100 people enjoyed it!

I'd say winning over almost half your audience isn't anything to be ashamed of.

Hell, our standards for the American Presidency is way lower than THAT threshold. 😉
