OVER HER DEAD BODY PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 134 moviegoers:
CHILDREN: All loved it!
TEENS: The females loved "Over Her Dead Body." They almost all gave it very high reviews. Even the few guys who gave a review really enjoyed it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: Many of the ladies loved it, rating it "Excellent" or "Fantastic." However, quite a large percentage rated it "Very Good," which is a high review but not real high. It indicates a movie you will certainly enjoy but not likely love. I have no problem recommending this movie to the ladies. Nearly all will enjoy it very much.
As for the guys, they rated it between above average and below average, which isn't very good. But, the teen and adult male reviews are great so I have no problem recommending "Over Her Dead Body" as a great date movie.
ADULTS: The female reviews are almost identical to those of the twentysomething females. The male reviews are also quite good, especially considering the type of story this is. Recommended.
Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be middling to mildly good overall, with the best marks coming from women. Older and younger viewers will probably enjoy about the same.

FIRST SUNDAY PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 44 moviegoers:
TEENS: Both males and females LOVED "FIRST SUNDAY." Highly Recommended!
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: Approximately three-quarters of the males and females enjoyed "First Sunday" very much. Most of the remaining reviews are a little on the low side but not terrible. Recommended, but some of you could be a bit disappointed.
ADULTS: The few male reviews are decent but not great. Two enjoyed it very much, one rated it average and two were a little disappointed. It's obviously more for the younger crowd. The female reviews are much better than the male reviews. Nearly all of them enjoyed it very much.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
Reactions will be middling to mildly good for this often silly comedy. Younger viewers will react more strongly than older ones, and men more than women.

P.S. I LOVE YOU PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 111 moviegoers: Great Reviews from virtually everyone! The ladies loved this movie very much. Only a small percentage rated it as low as average. Even the guys enjoyed "P.S. I Love You," so it's not just a movie for the ladies. Highly Recommended as a Great Date Movie.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
The target audience of women, particularly older ones, will give the film its highest marks, but other demographics won't be as enthusiastic, resulting in mildly good reactions on the whole.

BELLA PG-13
Moviegoer Opinions:
Based on a theater exit polling of 52 moviegoers:
TEENS: The three male teens rated it average to above average, which is decent.
TWENTYSOMETHINGS: There are only six in this age group but both males and females enjoyed "Bella," very much. Recommended.
ADULTS: These are some great reviews. Over half rated it "Excellent" or "Fantastic." Most of the remaining reviews are above average. A fair number of females only rated it as average, but virtually no one disliked it. Highly Recommended.Cinema Review Prediction: (before opinions)
"Bella" is primarily for those who enjoy true life dramas with lots of dialog. They will likely feel that it's, at least, above average. I believe average moviegoers will rate "Bella" as average to below average. It's not that it's bad, it's just not entertaining enough to warrant a full movie ticket price. If you're a fan of this type of movie then I suggest a lower priced matinee. Others may wish to wait to see it on video.
