I'd love to know the budget on Dragonball. But it tanking is no shock. What surprised me was O&R only coming in 4th.

I guess America got their fill of security based comedy in Janaury; TV spots aren't exactly making a point of saying this is a different take on the concept. Also, two movies starring the game guy in 3rd and 4th place? That doesn't happen very often.

There's quite a difference between acting and providing your voice.

I actually expected "Dragonball" to do worse.

Both Observe and Report and Adventureland are faring poorly.

We should get Ortonsault in here to review the Hannah Montana movie

Bob will see it, or has already, so I'm sure he'll offer his thoughts.

I thought it was really good, and better than most episodes of the TV show. The ending was a little much, but it was a faithful adaptation of the TV show, and I really enjoyed it.

Jan Levinson Gould being in it was hilarious
