I get that these are short, but the body of the article doesn't actually do much to support the claim made in the headline. The text comes around to that assertion ("Sandler and Leoni somehow redeem the movie") only near the very end.

Why doesn't the Bottom Gun shrug so the other Guns topple over?

Guys! Snidely's mom is also his nephew!

Ripley took a circuitous route to Bishop.

Nucular Family—their house has a libary and they love the month of Febuary.
