Too true. He was such a busy man. I purposely left out the wives. Initially I had them written in, but the story was far too long and I needed to edit it down. Given that he was a sociopath and they meant nothing more to him than a live bankroll to deceive and keep at bay, I deleted those paragraphs.

We've disagreed on movies once before. We obviously have different tastes (in comedy, at least, which is what we disagreed on last time). I stand by what I said about the "love or hate" thing, as I've seen the film evoke extreme reactions from people, particularly the female population. While many males I know (and some females) love it. Obviously I'm not speaking for the world, I'm making a generalization.

While I certainly don't think it's some cinematic masterpiece nor is it even a favorite of mine, I think it definitely has redeeming factors: John Ritter's last performance, for one. Bernie Mac would be another, and I like the kid too. I think the film provides comic relief for some people who are unable to relate to your average, saccharine Christmas movie (although that's just my guess). AND, I think the facts about the Coen brothers were interesting and not "obvious."

So cheers to us disagreeing all down the line! :)

This is how it worked in detail: A panel of judges selected the four finalists and ranked them. The top-ranked finalist received 44 points, the second place received 33 points, third place received 22 points, and fourth place received 11 points. At that time, the public votes were added in to decide the winner. Points from the judges counted as 55% of the total possible points. So judges had a hand in choosing the winner. This was the first time public votes were accepted as points counted the final decision.

Also, the finalists made public appearances prior to winning; the winner was announced as the four were guests on ABC’s program “The Chew.”
