Don't read the reviews, just look at the average scores. If the reviewers score it low but audience scores it high, it's probably "fun" but not groundbreaking or original. If both score it low, at least wait for Redbox or Netflix. If critics score it high but audience scores it low, it's an art flick - if you like that kind of movie, watch it; if not, pass.

If anything, I'd put more weight in the audience score.
Critics are too often guilty of snobbery, like they almost dont feel like they're doing their jobs if they dont say something bad about almost anything... they're the bigshot Broadway critic from Birdman, they're the same kind of people that kept KISS from the rock hall of fame for so long, etc.
IMO.
