Sometimes, justice prevails – even in Hollywood. Warner Brothers recently invested more than $100 million in an unspeakably ugly sleaze fest called SUCKER PUNCH, featuring lingerie-clad hotties tortured and lobotomized in an insane asylum, then forced into prostitution and martial arts confrontations.

Because writer-director Zach Snyder previously crafted the hit fantasies “300” and THE WATCHMEN, industry insiders predicted a major hit, but SUCKER PUNCH earned only $19 million-a showing the New York Times described as an “embarrassment.”

Meanwhile, the top movie in the country cost less than one-fifth of SUCKER PUNCH’s budget and aimed squarely at family audiences. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 2: RODRICK RULES is a funny, touching comedy-drama about two quarreling brothers in a likeable church-going family. Despite Hollywood’s unquenchable taste for sadistic and degenerate content, the American public frequently shows a strong preference for decency.
