Seth Rogen has responded to the negative reviews that his new movie ‘Santa Inc’ has been receiving by calling out the annoyance it has caused towards white supremacists.
Seth Rogen Calls Out White Supremacists Amid His New Movie ‘SantaInc’ Getting Poor Reviews
According to reports, the first sign of discontent towards the movie was being expressed in response to its trailer. It is alleged that numerous comments surrounding Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism were being expressed.
The primary bone of contention was allegedly the critics’ annoyance at the fact that a large proportion of the actors and crew, in general, were of Jewish origin.
In response, YouTube censored the comments on the grounds that they violated their guidelines. And now Seth has come out to denounce what he perceives to be the rising case of white supremacism.
In a post to his fans on Twitter, he said: “We really pissed off tens of thousands of white supremacists with our new show #SantaInc which is now available on HBOMAX!”
This begs the question, how well has the movie done so far? Well, it has been a disaster to say the least. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has received a shocking approval rating of just 3%.
This would make it one of the lowest ratings ever in response to a Christmas movie that was expected to take the movie industry by storm.
But rather than scapegoating the negative performance of the film on a rogue case of white supremacists, the response on social media was a whole lot simpler. People simply felt that the movie was not very good, which was the reason why it did not resonate with the public.
One person on Twitter wrote: “Have you considered the audience rating isn’t based on white supremacy, and that maybe~ it’s actually just not that good?”
While another stated: “I’m sure he got a lot of antisemitic criticism, which sucks. It doesn’t make this show good, however.”
There is still plenty of time for the movie to pick up traction in the run up to Christmas. But given what we have seen so far, it is not really anything to write home about and unlikely to end up being a Christmas classic.
