Once again, I’m breaking down by¬†category¬†the Broadcast Film Critics scores. Last year’s cutoff for Best Picture was 85. Neither Made in Dagenham nor Love and Other Drugs has managed to start out with anything better than a 3-star rating, but it’s early yet. Sitting on a miserable 61 and 59, respectively, Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls and Kevin Spacey’s Casino Jack appear to have crapped out.
