ALT1: ~~... that Oddball Hall was advertised as being similar to The Gods Must Be Crazy, but AllMovie found little resemblance between them?~~

You can copyedit ALT1 if you wish, or add rewrites of it. --George Ho (talk) 07:15, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, no close paraphrasing seen in sources. QPQ done. However, neither hook is hooky. Here's another suggestion:
ALT2: ... that according to critics, the comedy film Oddball Hall "is...well...odd"? Yoninah (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Heh, I like that one the most. Struck the first. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 20:43, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. As DYK rules prohibit me from approving my own hook, could another editor finish up this nomination? Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

ALT2 review: format correct, length nice and snappy, fact is in article and cite checks out. Will be good as an upbeat last line of the set. Remainder of approval per review by Yoninah. Good to go. Baldy Bill (sharpen the razor|see my reflection) 23:49, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
