What a joke,\u201d slammed one X user while another hit out: \u201cSeriously? This is what you post? Something about yourself? With everything happening now and the chaos caused by your dearly beloved?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melania has got an 11 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes\u2019 Tomatometer but has interestingly received a near-perfect 98 percent on its Popcornmeter, a stark divide between the two rating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For reference, the Tomatometer represents the percentage of positive reviews from professional critics, while the Popcornmeter shows the percentage of positive ratings from audience members, primarily verified users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, over on IMDb, Melania has received a 1.4\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing, the First Lady\u2019s documentary film is \u2018#7 in the UK\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The documentary landed on Prime Video on 9 March after Jeff Bezos\u2019 Amazon MGM studios paid $40 million for the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
