So, in the end, how many films got multiple votes?  How many got just a single vote?

677 movies received multiple votes, so just under 50%

I haven't seen this yet, but it's probably awesome.

At best, it's good.  Kind of patchy.  Not as terrible as its reputation will have people think.  Not a neglected masterpiece, either.  Last time I checked (a few weeks ago) it was on Netflix Instant.

I wish Elaine May would direct a film written by her once again.  Though, she didn't write my favorite film of hers and one of my all time comedies The Heartbreak Kid.

I rank them:

1. The Heartbreak Kid
2. A New Leaf
3. Ishtar
4. Mikey and Nicky

I really enjoyed the movie.  A great Road flick (as in, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby road flick).  Funny, enjoyable-- but whoever thought it should be big budget was an idiot and was probably shot.
