Won't Back Down says that whatever your feelings about the subject, lack of change cannot be the answer to our public-education crisis. Trying to cram an informational exposé and a vintage inspirational awards-bait weeper into one movie, Won't Back Down is awkward at times, yet it's also passionate in a surprisingly smart way. It makes a genuine drama out of impossible issues.

—Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly

The First Annual Reelzie Awards: Here Are the Nominees for the Least Intuitive Movie Titles of 2012

I heard of that movie. What's it about again?
Sure it's easy to remember a movie title if it's called Lincoln and it's about Abraham Lincoln or if it's called The Muppets and it stars the Muppets. However there are some movies in which the title gives no indication of what they're about or the title is so generic it could be for any movie of the same genre.
We've picked out the five movie titles that seemed the least related to their movie's content, but now it's up to our voting members to decide which movie title is the most counter-intuitive. Click through the jump to place your vote.
