| Captain America: The First Avenger | Friends with Benefits | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | This sounds like a movie based on the famous Marvel superhero. | This sounds like a movie based on a philosophy that never works out well. I already don't like this movie. | The patriotic movie wins the point for clearest title. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action:
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action.
| Romantic Comedy:
Rated R for sexual content and language.
| Friends with Benefits is a horrible plot for a Romantic Comedy. The action movie wins the point. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | Avenge.
Meh. It's a verb. Sounds like avenger.
2/5
| N/A
What the front door? This movie could have done well this round.
0/5
| Blow out. Captain America wins its third point. |
| Best Part of Trailer | The trailer I just saw online was 10 times better than the one from the theaters. It makes the story look good along with the special effects. | Okay, despite my hatred for this film a few seconds ago, the trailer seemed a little funny and charming. | But no match for Captain America. Point. Which is actually point #4. Column's over. You can stop reading now. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Chris Evans from Fantastic Four and Push. | Justin Timberlake from Bad Teacher, The Social Network, and hosting SNL. | Timberlake just brought sexy back to this column. Point. |
| Best Cast | Tommy Lee Jones (Men in Black), Stanley Tucci (Devil Wears Prada), and Hugo Weaving (The Matrix). | Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Patricia Clarkson and Emma Stone (Easy A), Woody Harrelson (Cheers), and Andy Samberg (SNL) | Mila Kunis. Nuf said. Friends with Benefits just scored two solid points. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Joe Johnston also directed Jumanji, October Sky, and Jurassic Park III. | Director and writer Will Gluck also directed Easy A. | Joe Johnston just barely wins this round (go watch October Sky)...but I really liked the movie Easy A. |
