B+

Interesting material, but sacrificed really struggling with the material in order to be more entertaining.

I cast the first B- vote. I'll try to explain why when I have time.

Also a B-. Entertaining enough. Humor masks flaws. Found myself getting bored with it by the end.

Huh. I found it to be a little exacerbating early on, only starting to get really interesting at the end.

edit: Not at all satisfied with the structure of that sentence but moving on nonetheless.

Also, at the conclusion of the Filmspots, it'd be interesting to have one of these Grade It polls for each of the Best Picture nominees (along with a few other strong contenders) and compare the results with those of the Filmspots.

B-

I feel the same way towards it as I do Adaptation.  It's clever, I understand it, I can why the choices they make were made.  But clever isn't enough.  The end of Adaptation is just another bad Hollywood action ending regardless of the commentary it is making on scriptwriting.  Banksy has still sold out, regardless of the artistic statement he's making by doing so.
