Is my sarcasm detector broken?

I love RG for all its stupidity but it's nowhere near the flick 16 Candles is. Is it?

Your sarcasm detector is working just fine. Real Genius is a personal favorite of mine, and I voted for it. I wish they weren't matched up against each other.

Not voting in this one. I don't think I saw "Sixteen Candles" and never heard of (or forgot) "Real Genius"

Is Candles one of those Molly Ringworm movies?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You were into that chick with the funny haircut, yeah?

No, it's the Molly Ringworm movie.

Didn't realize, for the longest time, that this is the same chick that was Anthony Edwards' nerd-love interest in the first "Revenge of the Nerds" movie.

I am going to deliberate on this one for a while. A tough choice.

Real Genius had its moments, but Sixteen Candles is the better of the two.

Totally.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I like "16 Candles." And look for a really young John Cusack as one of the geeks.

[HahnSolo]

Gotta love Sixteen Candles.

I voted for Real Genius. Ultimately the math-nerd college savant bringing down the MIC and thwarting space missles struck closer to home for me than the hapless geeks of Sixteen Candles, prom-queen-dorking Anthony Michael Hall notwithstanding.

Sixteen Candles. And not only because my wife was a dead ringer for the lovely Ms. Ringwald when we met.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I saw 16 Candles a long time ago and remember it being a pretty good movie, but I really don't remember much about it now. Pretty sure that I have never seen Real Genius. On that basis, I shall abstain from voting in this bracket.

Seventeen for 16, 4 for Real Genius
