Thumbs Down

Stars can never guarantee
A movie will be good,
Nor can advertisements
Which come out of Hollywood.

Is it worth one’s time to see
A top-notch actor acting
In a film so bad the few good scenes
Become distracting?

Don’t the actors realize
That this flick’s not up to snuff?
Maybe earning so much money
Justifies enough.

Still, it’s disappointing
When performers choose to star
In a movie for which somebody
Has clearly dropped the bar.
