| Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules | Sucker Punch | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | Ooh la la, is this a sequel to the last Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie? | Ooh la la, is this a....I don't know, but it has a cool title. | Unfortunately the point is for clarity not coolness, so Rodrick will win this point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Comedy
Rated PG for some mild rude humor and mischief.
| Action
Rated PG-13 for some thematic material involving sexuality, violence, and combat sequences, and for language
| Every movie has the parental guidelines of Sucker Punch these days, but it's the first time I ever typed "mischief" in this column...point for the Wimpy Kid. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | Welcome to the Next Grade
Catchy, because it's a sequel to a movie about middle-school.
3/5 stars
| You will be Unprepared
I like the declarative and brash statement about myself.
3/5
| Dear Diary, I don't know which movie has the better tagline, I guess they'll both split the point. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Let down. I thought the trailer to the first movie was amazing! This one was alright. | Samurais, robots, dragons, fighting, pretty girls, and perhaps a good plot. | Sucker Punch gave out a sucker punch this round and got the point. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Zachary Gordon was the lead actor in the first Wimpy Kid movie. | Emily Browning was from the Lemony Snicket movie. | I don't really know either of these actors, but they both seem cool- they'll split the point. |
| Best Cast | Steve Zahn (Sahara and Rescue Dawn) | Jena Malone (Stepmom), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), and Jon Hamm (Mad Men) | Not the best week for famous casts, but Sucker Punch will take the win. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director David Bowers has also directed Astro Boy and Flushed Away. | Writer and Director Zack Snyder has also written and directed 300. | Zack Snyder can definitely make a stylish looking movie- wins the point for Best Street Cred. |
