Scores

  1. 3 and above.

    Okay, you might not have a vast archive of all the times actors have dissed their own films, but that's not the worst thing in the world.

  2. 6 and above.

    That's not a bad effort at all. We can't all keep tabs with every snide or self-deprecating comment that every Hollywood star has made.

  3. 9 and above.

    Very well done: your grasp on scathing takedowns is strong, and we respect that.

  4. 10 and above.

    Top marks! You have an excellent catalogue of knowledge on disgruntled actors' statements.
