(1 point per category)

| Clearest Title | This title is tricky. 75% it's a movie about two people with clashing personalities. 25% it's another type of movie. | 99% that this is a horror movie. | 50% chance this movie is about high school or college. 50% chance it is not. | What? This movie could be about anything depending on what's in the stupid town. | When you name your movie Devil, people know what to expect. Point for bluntness. |

| …or a 1% chance it's a spooky mystery/thriller...all four movies split the point for diverse genres. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "A Pawsome 3D Adventure"
HAHAHA! They added a "P" onto awesome, because the movie is about dogs - and dogs have paws!
5/5 stars
| "Bad things happen for a reason"
I don't know about clever, but the tagline is effective for a movie called "Devil"
4/5stars
| "Let's not and say we did"
I don't get it. Maybe the movie will explain more.
2/5 stars
| "Welcome to the bank robbery capital of America"
What type of town is this??
3/5 stars
| I am in Pawe of that tagline. Can we Paw-lease give it the point for this round? Yes. Paw-fect.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | Funny and cute, especially the golfing geese. | Shoot- now that's seriously a good trailer- which one of the five people stuck on the elevator is the devil? | My favorite plot of the bunch- funny, and now the tagline makes sense. | That is one good looking movie. The Departed meets Gone Baby Gone. | This was my favorite week of watching trailers ever. All the movies have to split the point again. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Justin Long, from He's Just Not That Into You, is the voice of the main wolf. | Chris Messina, from Julie and Julia. | Emma Stone from Zombieland and Superbad. | Ben Affleck from Daredevil, Good Will Hunting, and Armageddon. | I could see myself becoming a fan of Emma Stone. For now, Ben has the best resume and the point. |
| Best Cast Member | Other voices include Hayden Panettiere (Heroes), Dennis Hopper (Speed), and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon). | Geoffrey Arend (500 Days of Summer) and Bojana Novakovic (Edge of Darkness) | Penn Badgley (Gossip Girl), Amanda Bynes (All That), Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3), Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci, and Lisa Kudrow. | Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Blake Lively (Gossip Girl). | The point for the most impressive cast, which isn't animated, goes to Easy A. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Ben Gluck has worked on 9 and Home on the Range and Director Anthony Bell has worked on The Simpsons and Rugrats. | Writer and Producer M. Night Shyamalan has also written and produced Signs and Unbreakable. | Director Will Gluck also directed Fired Up! | Director Ben Affleck has also directed Gone Baby Gone and married Jennifer Garner. | M. Night Shyamalan (I don't care what you say, he's talented) and Ben Affleck (have you seen Gone Baby Gone?!) split the point for Best Street Cred. |
