Rock of Ages, despite its star-studdedness, always seemed like a gigantic bomb and the release date feels totally wrong.  It feels like a first-week-of-August movie. Why go see it when you can stay home and watch Glee and play Guitar Hero?  That's My Boy looks like the summer's worst movie and it'll take all the drawing power of Adam Sandler and Father's Day to get it to mid 20's.  The holiday will be kindest to The Avengers and maybe Prometheus.  June seems to have started out stronger than what it will finish.
