Taylor Lautner’s “Abduction” has taken a critical beating. It’s only been rated as high as 3% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> and audiences have also turned away from it, giving it a 55% rotten rating. Let’s dive right in and see what everyone hates about it:<\/p>\n

“[A] blockhead espionage thriller…[N]one of [the action] has anything to do with abduction.”– Benjamin Mercer, The Village Voice<\/a><\/p>\n

“Lautner’s fan base–which I would presume to be young and female and interested in viewing his hairless and monumental chest–isn’t super-likely to read reviews before rushing out to see the movie. On the other hand, if you’re here reading this, the likelihood that you’re actually going to pay to watch ‘Abduction’ is exceptionally low.”–Andrew O’Hehir, Salon<\/a><\/p>\n

“[E]ven the [target] crowd my atag ‘Abduction’…as a ridiculously cheesy confection filled with unthrilling thrills, bored-looking adults and a comically overstuffed backstory.”–Joe Neumaier, NY Daily News<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, you’ve read what the critics had to say (and boy was it harsh), but here’s where you come in. What do you think of the film? Are you out of the target audience and actually loved the film? Are you in the target audience and hated it? Give us your opinions in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
