| The Bounty Hunter | Diary of a Wimpy Kid | Repo Men | Winner
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | This already sounds like a good movie. You know what would make it better? If Chuck Norris was in it. | This movie has to be based on the popular series of children's books. Also would be better with Chuck Norris. | Must be about men who repossess things if people cannot pay their loans. Chuck Norris would make a good Repo Man. | I have read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, so the title is clear and gets a point. |
Best Genre &
Rating | Action Comedy
Rated PG-13 for sexual content including suggestive comments, language, and some violence. | Comedy
Rated PG for some rude humor and language. | Sci-Fi Action
Rated R for strong bloody violence, grisly images, language, and some sexuality/nudity. | The rating of Repo Men sounds like the rating of Chuck Norris and therefore gets the point. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | It's a job. It isn't personal. Well, maybe a little...
Oh shoot, Jennifer Aniston is staring down Gerald Butler in that poster. The tagline helps this movie seem intriguing.
2/5 stars | It's not a diary. It's a movie.
Haha. Funny, because in the books the middle school boy always says he is actually writing a journal.
3/5 | For a price, any organ in your body can be replaced. But it can also be repossessed.
That probably sums up the plot of the movie. A little disturbing. Yet, a little awesome.
2.5/5 stars. | Diary of a Wimpy Kid gets 2/3 of a point for the inside joke tagline. Repo Men gets 1/3 of a point solely because it had 19 other taglines to choose from. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Fun man vs. woman plot, nice taser scene. | The character Rowley is hysterical. I laughed more here than the previous trailer. | A repo man kills people to give organs back to the government. Then, his organ is repossessed. He fights back. Action ensues. | I assumed that the following movie would lose the trailer round, but it easily won. Point for Diary of a Wimpy Kid. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Jennifer Aniston has been in 41 different tv shows and movies and she is 41 years old. | Zachary Gordon has been in 27 different tv shows and movies and he's only 12. | Jude Law has been in 38 different tv shows and movies and he is 38 years old. | Weird how Law and Aniston have the exact number of IMDb credits as their ages. Yet, Zachary has more than double the credits of his age, and wins the point. |
| Best Cast Member | Gerard Butler is best known for being King Leonidas in 300, and equally impressive as the title character in the movie Phantom of the Opera. | Steve Zahn is best known for being the sidekick in Sahara, and more impressive in Rescue Dawn. | Forest Whitaker is best known for winning an Oscar for The Last King of Scotland. Also impressive for his small role in Panic Room. | Gerard Butler has to get some credit for being able to sing opera and fight in a loincloth. Who else can claim those feats (other than Chuck Norris)? Point for The Bounty Hunter. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Andy Tennant has also directed Hitch, Sweet Home Alabama, Ever After, and Fools Rush In. | Jeff Kinney is the author of the same titled book, which has sold over 16 million copies and has a bunch of sequels. | Writer Garrett Lerner has written episodes for the tv shows House M.D., Boston Public, Roswell, and Smallville. | I have not heard of Mr. Tennant before, but he already has street cred for directing other romantic comedies, especially Hitch. Point for him. |
