My Year of Flops: The A.V. Club Presents One Man's Journey Deep into the Heart of Cinematic Failure by Nathan Rabin, A.V. Club

5.0

This book could not be any more delightful if it came with a free kitten. Nathan Rabin is a hilarious, erudite, and charming guide through the world of cinematic failure in its infinite variations. The idea of looking for (and often finding) something redeeming in the movies rejected by both audiences and critics is a lovely one, and Rabin's subtext seems to be that the world is better off for having all these movies in it, even the "floppiest" flops. I'll happily follow that kind of generosity of spirit to the ends of the cinematic universe. And as a bonus, it also made me howl with laugher. Keep em coming!
