| The Smurfs 2 | 2 Guns | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | This is a sequel- you can tell because of the number 2 at the end of the title. | This is....a movie? Why is there a number 2 at the beginning of the title? | The movie with the number in the correct place wins the first point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Animation (and live-action)
Rated PG for some rude humor and action | Action/Comedy
Rated PG-13 for action throughout, language, and brief nudity. | Two different genres and ratings, two happy 1/2 points awarded! |
Best Plot
(in haiku form) | There are evil smurfs
They want to capture Smurfette
Smurfs to the rescue! | Two guys rob a bank
Both undercover agents
Now they’re being chased | Both movies seem to have basic plots. Two meh 1/2 points awarded. |
| Best Trailer | PROS: There was a plot! And a funny joke or two.
CONS: You may want to be a kid to enjoy this movie | PROS: It was like a gritty buddy cop movie, good acting and good mix of funny and action
CONS: The TV trailers don’t show the comedy parts, and the plot doesn’t make sense if you think about it too long | Despite me not getting the plot, 2 Guns still had a trailer that made me want to watch the film...point. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Neil Patrick Harris from Doogie Howser, How I Met Your Mother, and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. | Denzel Washington from Training Day, Man on Fire, and Remember the Titans. | Oooohhh, this is a tough one. I think I might possibly maybe consider giving Denzel the point. |
| Best Cast | The voices of Katy Perry, Christina Ricci, George Lopez, Jeff Foxworthy, Shaq, and many more! | Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter), Paula Patton (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), Bill Paxton (Twister), and James Marsden (X-Men) | This is a close race 2, but 2 Guns will win this point.
|
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Raja Gosnell also directed Big Momma’s House, The Smurfs, and Scooby-Doo. | Director Baltasar Kormakur also directed The Deep and Contraband | While both directors have cool names, Raja will win the point this time around. |
