- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.
- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

Critical Reception
The Lucky One was not a hit among critics. Considered unoriginal and uninspired, the film received a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes (to be Fresh, a movie must have over 60%). On Metacritc, the movie got a 39 (Red), the highest grade a movie can have and still be considered "Negatively Reviews" (as opposed to "Mixed"). The highest grade was less than three stars, and there were only 4 remotely positive reviews. There were 21 mixed reviews and 10 negatives.
Box Office
The movie opened to $22.5 million in the US. This was much less than The Vow's opening a few months before, but nearly on par with Dear John. More people saw it then had seen The Notebook on its opening weekend.

Trailer: The Lucky One
Maybe I'll cry at this movie, maybe I won't, but say what you will about Zac Efron, but I thought he was pretty great in Charlie St. Cloud. |
