| 50/50 | Courageous | Dream House | What's Your Number? | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Gambling movie? Chick flick? I don't know! | Action movie? Inspirational drama? I don't know! | Teenage girls? Horror movie? I don't know! | Comedy about guys trying to date? Comedy about girls trying to date? It'll be a comedy. | What's Your Number is the title that has a clear genre and the line that has never worked for me. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Dramedy:
Rated R for language throughout, sexual content, and some drug use. | Drama:
Rated PG-13 for some violence and drug content. | Horror:
Rated PG-13 for violence, terror, some sexuality, and brief strong language. | Comedy
Rated R for sexual content and language. | There are sort of four different genres. They can each take 1/4th of this point. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "It takes a pair to beat the odds"
I think this is clever. It takes a pair of kahunas or a pair of friends to get through a medical prognosis.
4/5 | "Honor begins at Home"
Inspirational
1/5 | "Once upon a time there were two little girls that lived in a house"
This actually is a creepy tagline
3/5 | "Ally's looking for the best ex of her life"
Haha! You know what that's supposed to say...
4/5 | What's Your Number and 50/50 will split the point for some of the best taglines of 2011. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Brilliant! Hilarious! Heart-warming! | Heart-warming. Inspirational goosebumps too. | Way creepy. And much better than a typical haunted house trailer. | Hilarious! Anna Faris! | ny trailer this week would win this round any other week of the year. But put them together, and 50/50 will come out on top. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Joseph Gordon Levitt from Inception, 10 Things I Hate About You, and 3rd Rock from the Sun. | I didn't recognize any. | Daniel Craig from Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Layer Cake. | Anna Faris from the Scary Movies, The House Bunny, and Just Friends. | Just Friends and 3rd Rock have special places in my heart. Anna and Joe will split this point. Sorry, Mr. Bond. |
| Best Cast | Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air), Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help) and Anjelica Huston (The Addams Family) | Still no. (Well, some guys were in Fireproof). | Naomi Watts (King Kong), Rachel Weisz (The Mummy) | Chris Evans (Captain America) with Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) and Andy Samberg (SNL) | 50/50 scores 100% of the point. (I've been waiting all column to write something using all numbers.) |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer Will Reiser has produced the Ali G show. | Director and Actor Alex Kendrick has also directed and acted in Fireproof and Facing the Giants. | Director Jim Sheridan has also directed Brothers, In America, and In the Name of the Father. | Director Mark Mylod has also directed episodes of Entourage and Ali G Indahouse. | Six-time Oscar nominated Jim Sheridan can put a "Best Street Cred" point on his mantle. |
