Puns in the caption don't count for me. In this case the pun is in the photo itself, and it's an imaginitive and well executed take on this challenge.

The subject is very nice but the background is a little too uninteresting. It could maybe had been better if it was black.

I have to admit it was a very hard challenge. Like many entries, yours is very strong on many photographic levels, but lacks a bit on the "movie" side - there's very few entries where the title really sounds like a film I might go and see.

In relation to the challenge, a bit of a stretch
In relation to the photo in its own right, you've caught a good moment with clear faces visible, each bringing their own character with those comical expressions. The tight composition with square composition works well, making it very action-packed. Colours are strong, shame the focus is a lttle soft. A lot of potential - you should definitely go out again til you've perfected the art :)

Sorry to get to this so late - I'm aware you've reedited as per everyone else's advice, but I've tried not to read the other comments til i've left my own..

My first impressions are that you've found a great POV to give a really photogenic composition, but that the lighting/editing make it look a little blander, detracting from its potential. The non-symettry of the curves, leading you down to the main doorway work really well, echoed by the shadows on the ground doing the same thing, but I still feel the doorway is a bit too central - I'd maybe crop it a bit tighter at the bottom.

In terms of editing, it needs a bit more 'punch' - more contrast, work on curves etc. Depending on the location, it may be really photogenic in early morning/evening, where you'd get soft but distinct shadows, warm colours and lose the washed-out feel.
