Why such a low rating?


I thought this movie had an original comedy quality to it. Why such a low rating?

reply

This happens because of the way IMDB counts votes:
The process is designed to avoid a movie's rating
being artificially modified.

A movie can get a low overall rating especially while
it has not yet many votes.

If you look at the vote detail page (click on the
stars to see it) you see that the values for
"Arithmetic mean" and "Median" are actually quite good:
Arithmetic mean = 7.2
and
Median = 8
as of today.

Hope this helps 8-).

Today was my first time seeing this film ( in fact I came along a little past the mid-point) and I was surprised who much I like this one.

I think If more people knew about it they would get a kick out of it. But You have to have the type of sense of humor that would appreciate shows/films like Arrested Developement, Best in Show, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and the like.

This week was also the first time I viewed Idiocracy ( after seeing it on the shelf in the video store for a while. To each his own but I personally think both are keepers.

I have that type of sense of humor. I thought Arrested Development was hysterical, I thought Best in Show was a riot.

That said, I think this movie is a stinker. Memron is labelled as a high brow comedy for a "Smart, saavy audience". Personally, I found the jokes to be rather stupid....the whole "B Job" thing was very lame. I wanted to strangle the characters rather than laugh at them.
