I can't agree with any of that. The best film ever made is "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2". The subtle highs and lows of bittersweet comedy, the flawless writing, the razor sharp acting, the pinpoint precision of social commentary... It is as close to perfection as the film industry will likely ever achieve. Since that movie, all other supposedly "classic" cinema leaves me with an almost unbearable ennui.
