If someone wanted to read movie reviews, then he/she would probably go to sites like IMDB or maybe Meta Critic. However, a fast food joint on Twitter recently became the go-to place for numerous people to get their reviews regarding films and TV series.

On Wednesday, the Twitter account of Wendy’s, a revered American fast food chain, started to give serious and genuine reviews of movies and television series when asked by many Twitter users.

The whole incident started Wednesday when Eric Kohn, the deputy editor and chief critic for IndieWire, a film review website, asked a question on Twitter to Wendy’s as to what their favorite movie of the year was.

To his surprise, Wendy’s replied saying that American comedy-drama film Lady Bird was ‘pretty great.” It also went on to say that the movie “Logan” was a surprise addition to their list while it found “Blade Runner” to be “visually stunning.”

Not only did this tweet receive a massive number of likes and retweets, but it started a chain of conversations where many wanted to know more about Wendy’s opinion about movies and TV series.

American independent entertainment company, A24, then asked Wendy’s as to what did it like in the movie “Lady Bird.”

Wendy’s then gave a reply which can easily be compared to the reviews given by professional movie review sites. It said that the movie perceived “class differences” in an “interesting” way and also talked about its effect on the “mentality of youth.”

Seeing this reply, Rotten Tomatoes, an American film and television review website said in a tweet that they “loved” the review of “Lady Bird” given by Wendy’s. They even lent a supporting hand to Wendy’s if ever the fast-food chain wanted to enter the domain of movie reviews.

However, Wendy’s gave a sarcastic reply saying that they are “Certified Fresh”, maybe taking a dig at the phrase “Rotten” in the name Rotten Tomatoes.

Film critic Alan Zilberman also tweeted asking whether Wendy’s think that “Twin Peaks” is a television series or a movie.

Wendy’s once again gave a very serious and genuine reply to the question which where it said that it is difficult to draw a line “between television and film.”

At one point Wendy’s tweeted that it was asking the managers if the Twitter account could be changed into a movie review site.

They got their answer petty quickly.

Numerous Twitter users, although amused by the whole chain of conversation, took Wendy’s movie criticism quite seriously and asked authentic questions. Wendy’s didn’t hesitate to reply also.

A Twitter user who is apparently a Star Wars fan asked Wendy’s if it is excited about the latest installment of the series.

From Wendy’s reply, it seems quite evident that it is also quite fanatic about the sci-fi flick.
