Last year, The Incredibles went up against such notable contenders as Spider-Man 2 and The Aviator, emerging as the winner of the Golden Tomato Award for the best-reviewed film in wide release. Likewise, Sideways had serious arthouse competition in such films as Before Sunset and Million Dollar Baby before it triumphed as 2004’s best-reviewed film in limited release.
This year, the Golden Tomato entries include heavy hitters from a wide range of genres: quad rugby players square off against cute and cuddly penguins, while two established franchise juggernauts — Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Star Wars Episode III — duke it out. Throw in a crusading 1950s news reporter, a dysfunctional and disintegrating family unit, a pioneer of the “New Journalism” literary movement, and a real-life corporate scandal, and you’ve got a serious scrum. Who will be left standing when the bell tolls? Read on for the results.
