It looks like we’ve got a turkey on our hands here, folks. Earlier this year, the Weeknd released his album Hurry Up Tomorrow, which is a pretty good record and also a big hit. This weekend, however, the Weeknd releases his Hurry Up Tomorrow movie, and it does not appear to be heading in the same direction. I want to stress that I have not seen Hurry Up Tomorrow, which was directed by indie auteur Trey Edward Shults and which stars Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan alongside the Weeknd himself. But the early indicators are not good. As I write this, Hurry Up Tomorrow has a robust 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Also, someone recorded one scene from the film in a movie theater — don’t do that — and it has gone viral specifically because the Weeknd’s acting is not good.
