Information About

Rotten Tomatoes




Rotten tomatoes are generally used as an insult against performers. If a performer does badly on stage (in a Comedy Act , or a Play , for example), one might throw rotten Tomato es at him or her, although in practice, this is done rarely. In contrast, one would throw Roses on stage if a performance were done particularly well.

This idea has been extended by the Website Rotten Tomatoes , which collects the ratings given to Movie s by Film Critic s to give films an overall score. Movies that rate below 60% are called "rotten" while ones that are at or above that level are called "fresh".
