TV Without Pity

So I've taken a few days to look around on TV Without Pity. Its a cool site, but nothing really I haven't seen. It reminded me of a cross between TV Guide and Total Film. It was nice that they had recaps for many episodes of a lot of TV shows and various blogs discussing them. I was happy to see a whole movie section on there since I am more of a movie buff than TV one. I looked at there Favorite and Most Hated lists and saw the usual almost.... I was stunned to see Observe & Report on their list. Really? Come on! Okay yes everyone has their own opinions but I did not see anything in their explanation that made me see why they would like it. The closest to an explanation I saw was "Observe shows how fine the line between comedy and tragedy can be, and it's a brave experiment that makes you think about what you're laughing at, and hate yourself for laughing even as you do it." But why did you like it? I'm not expecting to see "This movie was great because....." or "I liked this movie because..." but when your point is "there is a fine line..." I don't want to pay attention. I mean the rest of their list was fine in my opinion, the movies on their I have seen I love and have been well panned by critics and other viewers. But films like "Observe and Report" are generally hated by critics and even on IMDB its rating is 6.1 from 17,000 votes. They can put it on their list, that's fine everyone has movies they like that no one else do but please make a point to the me why it is good in your opinion.
