thinking about films that didn't connect with critics but did with audience (or vice versa). if anyone has the time lobogotti Aug 15, 13:36

Super Troopers - 55% (difference) lobogotti Aug 15, 13:36

Christmas With The Kranks...but only a 31% difference Catzan Aug 15, 13:46

Because I Said So at a 61% difference. Catzan Aug 15, 13:50

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

Madea's Family Reunion - 59% difference reelreptile Aug 15, 13:47

Rad - 91% difference RazorHawk Aug 15, 13:51

Pre-Internet (1986) {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 13:59

Grandma's Boy - 69% difference RazorHawk Aug 15, 14:00

Hillary 79% - but that's gotta be some self-selection... {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 15, 13:54

I prefer to think of it as knowingly seeing what makes them happy... TwoMisfits Aug 15, 14:18

There are a couple of faults to something like this johnnyb588 Aug 15, 15:37

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