I see The Day After Tomorrow is still going strong somehow.

I voted for it, but I always expect be be alone when I do.

[Mattrick]

This is by far the weakest group. Only group over only voted for one film this round, maybe in the entire tournament.

There's not even a single movie here I care to vote for.

School of Rock is a lot of fun.

[Heather19]

So not my movie :lol:

[St. Troy]

I can only take Jack Black in very controlled doses (Cable Guy, Anchorman), and he is very Jack Black-y in School of Rock (as you'd expect, given that he's the star); your feelings about him would probably drive your feelings about SOR (I didn't like it, but others certainly will/do).

The poll has closed. The following four titles are moving on to the next round:


A Beautiful Mind (65.22%)
The Day After Tomorrow (56.52%)
The Hangover (56.52%)
School of Rock (47.83%)


And the following two titles have been eliminated:


Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (43.48%)
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (26.09%)

[Still Servant]

So not my movie :lol:

Is it because of Jack Black?

I thought he was great in Tropic Thunder and the recent Jumanji film.

[Heather19]

I'm not a fan of Jack Black or a lot of comedies in general.

Comedies are my absolute favorite genre of movies. Although I don't know that I share that sentiment with many people here. I think that's why I'm always so disappointed in these tournaments.

[Ricky]

I love comedies, though it's harder and harder to find ones that I like that are smart, funny, and nicely paced without relying on sex, language, or stupid set-pieces.
