| Clearest Title | I don't know? | I don't know? | I don't know? | I don't know? | These titles don't tell me anything. All four will split the point four ways. |

Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | The only easy day was yesterday.
I don't get it, but it sounds good.
2/5
| "No one believes her. Nothing will stop her."
Good summary, not the greatest tagline
1/5
| "Wesley Deeds is About to Discover the Person He Was Meant to Be"
Didn't do it for me
0/5
| "Leave your baggage behind"
Sounds freeing.
2/5
| What? Not one tagline could get to three stars- they'll all split losing the point this round. |
| Best Part of Trailer | It had a realistic Navy Seal type of feel. | Kind of suspenseful. | Kind of Inspirational | Interesting premise. I didn't laugh much. | These trailers are fine, but not one made me super care. All split the point. (shoot, Debbie Downer has taken over the column this week.) |
| Coolest Lead Actor | The trailer said all the characters were Navy SEALs?! | Amanda Seyfried from Mamma Mia!, Dear John, and Red Riding Hood. | Tyler Perry from Diary of a Mad Black Woman and I can do Bad all by Myself. | Jennifer Aniston from Friends, Office Space, and Horrible Bosses. | Score, finally a round I like! And I like all four choices. Let's split the point four ways for a fifth time! |
| Best Cast | The trailer was wrong, because this movie seemed to have a lot of actors in it. Maybe the Seals are extras? | Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter), Daniel Sunjata (All My Children), | Thandie Newton (Crash), Gabrielle Union (Bring it On), Rebecca Romijn (X-men), and Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show) | Paul Rudd (Role Models), Justin Theroux (Charlie's Angels II), Alan Alda (MASH), Kerri Kenney (Reno 911), and Michaela Watkins (SNL) | Now we get interesting, cause only Good Deeds and Wanderlust will split this point. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer Kurt Johnstad also wrote 300. | Writer Allison Burnett also wrote Underworld: Awakening and Untraceable. | Director, Writer, Actor Tyler Perry has done those things for all of his films. | Writer and director David Wain also wrote and directed Role Models. | And Tyler Perry has the most street cred. Sole winner of this point. |
