Jenna Ortega And The Weeknd Hurry Up Tomorrow Reactions
Jenna Ortega and Abel Tesfaye, aka "The Weeknd," are in a film called Hurry Up Tomorrow, and the reaction is a bit surprising.
So, the film is technically a companion to The Weeknd's sixth studio album, which has the same name.
In the movie, he plays a fictional version of himself who gets caught up with this mysterious woman named Anima (Jenna).
The movie also stars Barry Keoghan as his manager and friend, Lee.
When a scene featuring Abel and Jenna went viral, people really had a lot to say about it.
Perhaps Abel's last adventure into dramatic acting with The Idol rubbed people the wrong way, because all it took was for one scene to go viral on the internet, and now everybody's dragging the movie.
As of writing this, Hurry Up Tomorrow had a shocking 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Jordan Hoffman of Entertainment Weekly said, "The nearly plot-free movie is self-indulgent, overly serious, and, worst of all, just plain dull."Maria Sherman of the Associated Press said the movie was "An exciting vanity project with surrealist imagiation but stiff writing, no stakes, limited emotional weight and an unclear narrative."
While the Audience Score for Rotten Tomatoes wasn't too bad, based on the internet reactions, people seem to be mostly siding with the critics.
One person said, "Hurry Up Tomorrow one of those ones where my interest increases the worse the reviews get."
"One of the worst vanity projects I have ever seen. Could not believe my eyes at the ridiculous shit in this movie," somoene wrote.
But according to this person, the third act is basically "a full on ad for The Weeknd's music," so that sounds like a win because his music is undeniably good.
This person did come to the defense of the movie, writing, "We need to get rid of movie critics because it ruins the vision of the movie. Movies are made because its a form of art not because its getting graded. If The Room got 24% on rotten tomatoes the Hurry Up Tomorrow minimum should get that."
Another person said, "I love HURRY UP TOMORROW for all the wrong reason. A beautifully crafted experimental art piece with gorgeous cinematography, a half-baked plot, and an atrocious lead performance, #HurryUpTomorrow is so film school coded that it almost made me feel nostalgic."
Another fan wrote, "What a beautiful experience this movie was!! Loved the raw and natural emotions displayed by the cast. The concept was very smart, loved the visuals & Jenna was brilliant! Phenomenal movie by Abel for his fans, this is a must watch especially if you're a fan."
So, perhaps to fully appreciate the movie, you have to be a fan of The Weeknd and understand the lore of his music? If not, you're in for a bumpy ride.

Ben Affleck action thriller 'The Accountant 2' is Prime Video's newest No. 1 movie — and fans rate it 92% on Rotten Tomatoes
Prime Video surprised us with an extra dose of action just a few days ago, as 'The Accountant 2' came to the Amazon streaming service on June 5, just six weeks after its theatrical release. Clearly, 'The Accountant 2' was exactly what Prime Video subscribers were waiting for, though, as the movie immediately became a hit for the streamer. The high-octane sequel went straight to No. 1 on Prime Video's top 10 list, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast. Viewers who've already checked the thriller out are full of praise, too; 'The Accountant 2' has bagged a 92% rating from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes, with the audience consensus reading: '[Stars Ben] Affleck and [Jon] Bernthal make for compelling leads in 'The Accountant 2,' a violence-packed sequel that accrues enough humor and heart you can take to the bank.' Not yet seen 'The Accountant 2,' and trying to decide whether to add it to your watchlist? Here's a little more info about the sequel, and a quick round-up of critical opinion to help you decide whether to stream 'The Accountant 2' on Prime Video. Gavin O'Connor's 'The Accountant 2' reunites us with Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck), a man with a talent for, as Amazon puts it, 'solving complex problems.' The film sees one of Wolff's acquaintances being murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to 'find the accountant,' and Wolff feels compelled to get to the bottom of things at once. When he realizes this particular case might require more extreme methods, he reaches out to his estranged (and highly lethal) brother, Braxton (Jon Bernthal). Working with the U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they uncover a deadly conspiracy, and the pair end up putting themselves in the crosshairs of some foes who'll stop at nothing to ensure that their secrets remain undiscovered. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Affleck, Bernthal, and Addai-Robinson, 'The Accountant 2' also stars Daniella Pineda and Allison Robertson. As we mentioned, 'The Accountant 2' has been a big hit with moviegoers, especially, though it's performed reasonably well with critics, too. On Rotten Tomatoes, 'The Accountant 2' currently holds a 76% critics score (from more than 200 registered reviews), though that's not quite as high as that 92% score on the Popcornmeter we've already flagged. As an example of what reviews had to say, Empire, critic Kim Newman rated the movie 3/5, writing: "Affleck and Bernthal make a funny, if morally dubious, double act, as Christian's autism lets sociopathic hit man Brax think of himself as the 'normal' brother. Best bit: the line-dancing scene." The Guardian's Adrian Horton offered a similar 2-star verdict when she reviewed the movie at SXSW earlier this year, calling it a "decent enough fan service follow-up", adding: "This is a movie of cinematic adrenaline and ludicrous setups — ironically for its hero, stupid pleasures, but the fun kind of stupid, the kind that draws loud cheers from a crowd at a SXSW premiere and gets people streaming on the couch." And, reviewing at Variety, Owen Gleiberman called "The Accountant 2" "one of the only thrillers I've seen you could characterize as a hangout movie," writing: "This franchise had nowhere to go but up. And that, I'm pleased to say, is exactly what happened. "The Accountant 2" is an agreeably loopy hyperviolent good time." Personally, I left "The Accountant 2" feeling similar to how I did after streaming "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" on Netflix earlier this year. Both are solid action movies that thrive thanks to decent on-screen thrills and a fun bro-chemistry between the two leads. Christian and Braxton make for an entertaining pair to go along for the ride with, and the flick packs in a surprising amount of laughs throughout. If you're after a decent action thriller to liven up your next movie night, I'd suggest you stream "The Accountant 2" on Prime Video. Not sold on the new Prime Video release? We can still help you find your next must-watch movie. Check out our guide to the best movies on Prime Video that you can stream right now for more top streaming recommendations.

Is Che in ‘And Just Like That' Season 3? Sara Ramirez's Character's Fate After Dramatic Season 2
Miranda Hobbes experienced both love and heartbreak in the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That…, and her relationship with Che Diaz certainly had its highs and lows. Is Sara Ramirez's character in season 3 of the show? It was reported by multiple outlets in February 2024 that Sara's character was not returning for season 3 of And Just Like That… after two seasons on the show. Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda, spoke out on Che's exit from the show one year ahead of the season 3 premiere in May 2025. "I think for Miranda, Miranda and Che were really pretty done," Cynthia told Entertainment Weekly in May 2024. "I think that Miranda and Che had kind of run the gamut of what they were going to be to each other." Cynthia echoed a similar stance while speaking with Variety that same month. 'I do feel like our show always works best when people are dating,' she said. 'They created such an amazing character — such a controversial character, but such an amazing character,' she said, referring to the character of Che. 'I think they felt, and Michael Patrick [King] felt, that that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.' The Emmy winner said that she understood that a lot of people were upset with the arc of Steve's character, Miranda's husband, whom she left and got back together with in the first Sex and the City film. In And Just Like That… their relationship came crumbling apart when Miranda met Che and began an affair. While speaking with Grazia in May 2025, Cynthia said that the ''poor Steve' narrative doesn't really bother me. Our show always killed its darlings. If we're just gonna play it safe and nice, why are you watching?' Cynthia revealed that she suggested Sara, who uses they/them pronouns, for the role of Che. 'I love Che, I love Sara. It's hard to know what people would have made of Che if Che hadn't ostensibly broken up Steve and Miranda,' she noted. 'But I don't want a show in which everybody is behaving well all the time. A feminist show doesn't show women being perfect.' Miranda and Che ended up breaking up after their toxic romance hit its breaking point in season 2 of And Just Like That… Their romance was plagued by bickering and tension as Che's TV pilot ended up failing. 'I think for Che, there's an incremental ego death process that is occurring over time, with the failure of the pilot, with all of the projections that they internalized during that process, with all the questioning they've been doing,' Sara told TVLine in July 2023. 'I don't think they have the capacity to keep the wheels on the car any longer. They don't have the capacity to continue this fantasy of a bubble of love and friendship and affirmation.' Cynthia revealed that in season 3, Miranda would be embracing her single era. 'Both the old show and the new show are more fun when people are dating, so Miranda will be dating,' she said.

MLB acquires stake in Jomboy Media to expand digital presence
Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball has agreed on a strategic partnership with Jomboy Media and will acquire a stake in the company. The two sides announced the deal on Tuesday. Jomboy Media will be used across MLB's digital channels. MLB will also help grow Jomboy Media's other shows, including 'Talkin' Baseball,' 'Talkin' Yanks,' and 'The Warehouse Games.' Both sides are also expected to collaborate on IP growth and ad opportunities around MLB's key events, including the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby. According to the release, Jomboy Media set revenue and profitability records last year, and had more than 93 million engagements on social media. Jomboy Media was founded by Jimmy 'Jomboy' O'Brien and Jake Storiale in 2017. 'We have long admired the passionate fandom of Jimmy O'Brien and his unique ability to connect with baseball fans,' Noah Garden, MLB deputy commissioner, business and media, said in a statement. 'This partnership will ensure that Jomboy Media will have the resources and access to MLB intellectual property necessary to help it continue to grow. We are looking forward to bringing baseball fans more entertaining content to help further expand baseball's online presence and deeper the connection between our sport and its fans.' Jomboy Media's key property is 'The Warehouse Games,' a league modeled after classic backyard games. The series has nearly 400 million all-time views. 'I continue to be amazed by what our community enables us to do through their endless support. When we started talking about baseball on the internet, it was just a fun hobby. Our community is the reason we've been able to turn this from 'just a hobby,' into something bigger than we ever could've imagined," O'Brien said in a statement. "Partnering with MLB marks a huge moment for Jomboy Media, and through this partnership, we'll be able to give back to our community with storytelling that's deeper than ever before.' ___ AP MLB: recommended in this topic
