iTunes “Movies of the Week” March 14, 2010.
We pretend that Apple thinks highly of its customers and only acknowledge the areas that we participate in as the high-minded examples. Apple’s Movies of the Week feature chooses three movies from the iTunes Store and offers them for a 99 cent rental or a $4.99 purchase.
In the middle of the image above is the direct-to-video Legally Blondes, AKA “Legally Blonde 3,” and has rated at a solid 3.7/10 at the IMDB. I’m not singling it out- “Are We There Yet?” rates 4.2/10 and “American Virgin,” the lowest rated film of the three, earns 3.6/10. These might seem low, but please keep in mind that IMDB scores are generally considered to be higher than critic scores because the general public is allowed to vote on what they feel the quality of a movie is. These aren’t movies that “only fans understand”- in the case of American Virgin, it’s most supportive group (females aged 18-29) still only rated it a 4.7/10 on average.
iTunes Movies of the Week: Movies too dumb for even dumb people.
