Big screen bout: ‘High School Musical 3’ vs. ‘Saw V’
Hard Stats
’
Running time of 112 minutes with a G rating.
‘Saw V’
Running time of 92 minutes with an R rating.
WINNER: This one is kind of a tie. While shorter is usually better, 92 minutes of bone-crunching, artery-slicing torturing and screaming feels more like three hours. On the other hand, HSM3s G rating ensures that everything that happens to these teenagers will never rise above the level of sweet vanilla. So
a short unpleasant jolt or a longer drive into boredom? Ive always been a rip the Band-Aid off kind of guy, so Saw V wins this round. (Andrew Gombert / EPA)
