NO. One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life--and when I saw it, I was only 15. That was 11 years ago. TERRIBLE film. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 15, 22:05

I'd look at movies where critics and audience want different things from the movie - especially movies made outside the Hollywood system RogerMore Aug 15, 13:54

Sorry, wasn't meaning for that to be a direct reply to you, TwoMisfits {nm} johnnyb588 Aug 15, 15:46

some good stuff in there... thanks for the feedback folks {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 13:56

Wasn't "The Iron Giant" really well-received, but a poor BO result? {nm} second gary Aug 15, 19:14

Large %'s to be expected on films with narrow target market (Hillary, Rad, anything Tyler Perry). What's the largest gross with a 50%+ dif? {nm} PhoneHome Aug 15, 14:59
