Rotten Tomatoes

A 41% critic score, a D- CinemaScore, and $203M at the box office. How Vanilla Sky became a movie people can't stop rewatching.

Birdemic's clip-art eagles, Plan 9's plastic saucers, and The Room's $6M greenscreen — when budgets break the illusion.

Excellent actors, spectacularly wrong roles — from Dick Van Dyke's cockney to Tom Hanks as a Wall Street snob. Ten mismatches, ranked.

Primer, Mulholland Drive, Synecdoche, Inland Empire — five acclaimed films where confusion is the craft, ranked by how hard they are to follow.
