In Theaters: March 6, 2015

There are THREE wide releases this weekend.

Chappie

In a near future South Africa where the police are all robots, there is one robot called Chappie.  For some reason this makes a bunch of people mad and they want to go destroy Chappie.  Maybe they saw Terminator and they don't want robots going all self-aware and stuff.

Anyway, Chappie is rated R for violence, language and brief nudity.  Probably not robot nudity.  I doubt they would count that.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

A few years ago a movie came out called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and it was a moderate hit.  People liked it.  I'm sure it was a good-hearted film, but I still have no idea what it was about.  As far as I can tell the first one was about a bunch of old people on vacation (albeit they were old people played by very famous old actors).

And as far as I can tell this one is about the same old people (plus some additional old people - including Richard Gere) still on vacation.  Or maybe they live there now, I can't tell.  Interestingly, Dev Patel stars in both this and Chappie.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is rated PG for some language and suggestive comments.

Unfinished Business

Here at the Big Shot Critic Blog our mission statement has always been to tell you if a movie looks stupid or not.  That's one of many mission statements.  The other ones are things like make fun of movies whenever possible, make funny little references that no one will ever get but me unless I explain it to them, or to generally be biased in whatever way we see fit.

This one looks pretty weak.  And therefore stupid.  It's about Vince Vaughn and the small business he starts and a business trip he goes on to score a deal with a major client (Ricky Gervais) in direct competition with his former boss (Sienna Miller).

Unfinished Business is rated R for some strong risqué sexual content/graphic nudity, and for language and drug use.

I would skip this one.
