If you look at them that way, then you can learn to appreciate the bad ones like Direct Contact.

The only reason I watched this remake of My Bloody Valentine was because it starred Jensen Ackles of Supernatural.

Unlike most recent comedies, which tend to be excessively vulgar and borderline X-rated, this one is quite clean.
