It’s Adam Sandler vs. Tom Cruise. An unlikely pairing, but one which could be as interesting to watch as that of last week’s Prometheus vs. Madagascar 3. In the end, I think Sandler’s That’s My Boy may eke out a victory, but that Rock of Ages will have longer legs.

Consensus

Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.

Rock of Ages: It could be fun, but it could also be bad.
That’s My Boy: Does anyone really care about Adam Sandler anymore?
Your Sister’s Sister: Good performances could highlight this indie relationship seriocomedy.

Thoughts While musicals haven’t done well in recent years, this one looks like it could be a great deal of fun. And with Adam Shankman’s Hairspray being an unexpected delight, I’m most interested to see what he does with this material.	Thoughts With early raves for Tom Cruise’s performance, this might be better than it looks from the trailer.	Thoughts

Thoughts It’s a talented cast in what appears to be a rather conventional plot. Could be worth checking out.	Thoughts Looks like a mildly interesting romantic triangle drama.	Thoughts
