(SIDENOTE: Most publications like to make "controversial" top 10 worst lists. They like to put things on that aren't necessarily bad, but rather failures. If you read why they put the films on the list, they never say the film is bad, in fact it just sounds like a slight negative review. Hence why you won't see Catwoman, White Chicks, Garfield, Surviving Christmas or Christmas With the Kranks on many worst lists.)

SIDENOTE #2: What the FUCK happened to the Eternal Sunshine love?
