Ron Howard’s Movie Formula

Cracked has come up with an amusing flowchart that ‘explains’ director Ron Howard’s ‘formula’ for making films.

As they say:

  1. Ron Howard is a former child actor who has directed some of the most financially successful and critically acclaimed films of the past 10 years.
  2. His critically acclaimed movies are usually inspirational
  3. His blockbusters, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ ($260 million), ‘The Davinci Code’ ($217 million) and ‘Angels & Demons’ ($155 million world wide this weekend) rely on a much stranger secret formula.
