Thescreescore – Tom Blyth, the rising star known for his compelling turn in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, continues to solidify his remarkable connection with audiences, as his latest Netflix romantic comedy, People We Meet on Vacation, achieves an impressive 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. This latest success further underscores Blyth’s unique appeal, demonstrating a consistent ability to win over viewers, even as critical reception for some of his projects has varied.
The adaptation of Emily Henry’s beloved novel, which premiered on the streaming giant, sees Blyth co-starring with Emily Bader as two friends whose decade-long tradition of summer vacations takes an unexpected turn. While the film garnered a respectable 79% from critics on the Tomatometer, it’s the audience’s enthusiastic embrace that truly highlights Blyth’s burgeoning star power. Within a day of its release, People We Meet on Vacation amassed over a hundred user ratings, pushing its Popcornmeter score beyond its critical counterpart. Viewers have largely praised the movie for its charm and adept handling of romantic comedy tropes, contributing to a stream of positive, if not universally perfect, reviews.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for Blyth, representing his seventh consecutive "Hot" title – a project with an audience score of 60% or higher. More impressively, it’s his fifth project in a row to achieve an audience rating exceeding 80%, a testament to his consistent ability to resonate with viewers. This trend suggests that while critics might sometimes be divided, Blyth’s performances consistently strike a chord with the general public.
