Runtime: 112 min
Nap Effect: 0 min

Summary: My husband did not sleep, but he did not pay attention either. Nice chick flick, but Rachel Weisz TOTALLY butchered "I've Got a Crush on You". They should have edited that out.

Heaven

Runtime: 97 min
Nap Effect: 23 min

Summary: Some of the most beautiful photography I've ever seen. Tuscany shots make one salivate and the angles are breath-taking. But the movie is boring. Or maybe I'm just not that artistic. Who knew Giovanni Ribisi and Cate Blanchett could look like twins.

The Nap Effect

I love movies. I love my husband. My husband loves me back, but he definitely doesn't appreciate the seventh art as much as I do. This leads to me dragging him to the theater, where he proceeds to take longs naps during the show. After much protest on my part, we decided to rank movies by their nap effect. Good movies have a nap effect of zero, while not so good movies have a nap effect of 150min.
