Reviews for "Fans speculate on reasons behind Rocky mascot's fainting"
1. Emily - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Rocky mascot passes out." The plot was weak and the acting was subpar. I expected so much more from a movie centered around a mascot. The humor fell flat and the characters were not likable. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable and unenjoyable experience.
2. Tyler - 2/5 - "Rocky mascot passes out" had potential, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. The story was predictable and full of cliches. The screenplay lacked originality, and the dialogue felt forced. The special effects were unimpressive, and the mascot costume itself looked cheap. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this film.
3. Samantha - 1/5 - This movie was a disaster. The plot was nonsensical, and I found it hard to follow what was even happening. The acting was wooden, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. The attempts at humor were forced and not funny at all. The whole movie felt like a waste of time and money. I regret watching it, and I would strongly advise others to avoid it.
