I figured that Vacation would dominate, but 45-1 wow.

C'mon Abbott & Costello need more votes!

When you posted the comedy/horror thread, I first thought you wanted movies that were horror/comedies, so Abbott & Costello came to mind, as did Army of Darkness...

Matchup #1
National Lampoon's Vacation

Matchup #2
Tropic Thunder

Matchup #3
Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Matchup #4
Gross Pointe Blank

Matchups #5

Pretty easy picks, IMO. Can't say I really cared for Austin Powers, but I absolutely hate Abbott and Costello. The other choices were no-brainers.

Tropic Thunder / Revenge of the Nerds was hard for me. Went with Nerds.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #2

The brackets are updated. The links are in my sig.

For those that have filled out brackets, the prediction leaderboard has also been updated. Anybody else intersted in this can still fill out their own brackets up until 5PM tomorrow. Just click the link for the one you want to try in my sig and then look for the Predict it Link on the upper left of the bracket.

Now 74-1. RobCA needs to explain that single vote...perhaps it was cast by mistake.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #2

I voted for the movie I like more; I'm not sure why I "need to explain" that... I do like Vacation, but I happen to prefer Ruthless People. I stand by my vote.
