25 Predictions For This Summer's Rotten Tomatoes Scores

10. Pixels (49%)

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Though one of the better Adam Sandler and Kevin James vehicles of recent times, Pixels wastes its intriguing premise and great cast with an abundance of lowbrow humour." Until this past week, the quality of Chris Columbus' video game blockbuster comedy was wildly up in the air, but now that the first trailer has been released, it's easier to have an idea of how it might fare with reviewers. While it won't be an out-and-out critical hit for Sandler and James, it does look intermittently funny, even if one can't escape the feeling that all the best bits have been given away in the trailer for free. Also, remember that critics typically aren't gamers, so the premise might not work for them (though that didn't stop Wreck-It Ralph scoring 86%), and with the divisive two actors at the forefront, there's a good chance a lot of the jokes will flop. Hard. Still, 49% would be a major step up for both of them, so there's that.
