John, you Gotti be kidding!
JOHN Travolta’s latest film about mob boss John Gotti has bombed in a big way with the critics.
The film, which features the Grease actor in the lead role, went down badly with critics who have seen the movie.
Gotti got a 0% score on the review website Rotten Tomatoes which adds up all a film’s reviews.
The score is based on the 18 reviews listed on the website on Saturday, which were all considered to be “rotten”.
The website distinguishes whether films are “rotten” or “fresh” based on their reviews but a 0% rating is rare.
Other movies with that dubious distinction include Jaws: The Revenge, The Ridiculous 6 and Look Who’s Talking Now!, which also starred Travolta.
Gotti follows the crime boss’ rise to become the “Teflon Don”, head of the Gambino crime family in New York City.
The under-fire film also stars Travolta’s real-life wife Kelly Preston as the mobster’s wife Victoria.
A review in the New York Times called it “a dismal mess”.
And Rolling Stone magazine said: “Starring in this mobster biopic that deserves to get whacked is an offer Travolta should have refused.”
