Are they really good? (Eh)

So similar to my last post, only this time, it's movies that I think are good, but my peers seem to disagree.

In parenthesis is the score I gave the movie and how much higher it is than the predicted score.

-Young Einstein (75, +40) There is nothing so terrible about this movie to justify why people gave it such a low score.

-Napoleon Dynamite (93, +34) There are few other films that I laugh as hard at. All the characters in this movie are great.

Hudson Hawk (70, +32) Whatever this movie hoped to be it utterly failed at. What it ended up being is so absurdly silly that it's hard not to like.

Aeon Flux (53, +32) It's not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but I found it interesting and entertaining.

-The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (81, +31) Yes, this movie is dumb, but that's why I love it.

-Michael (71, +31) Celeste appears to be the only person that agrees with me that this is a decent movie.

-Death to Smoochy (86, +27) I was really surprised to find out that there's a lot of people that don't like this movie. I thought it was hilarious.

-Reckless Kelly (74, +26) I loved this movie as a kid. I should probably watch again now that I would get all the jokes.

-The Fountain (97, +26) The movie was really divisive when it came out. I agree it's pretentious at times, but it really grabbed me.

-Chicago (90, +25) I'm a sucker for a good musical.

-A Knight's Tale (80, +24) I found this movie really fun and entertaining. The campiness of all the modern music and themes just added to it.

-Moulin Rouge (98, +24) This movie is such a spectacle I can't help but love it.
