Hey- 7 y/o girls loved seeing it over and over again too! (I should know, I was one of them)
But other than just box office results, it WAS lauded at the Oscars. And I know the entire Oscar academy isn't made up of 2nd grade girls.
Though I guess I can see where the comparison is coming from when I compare it to Avatar instead. People mocked the heck outta that thing when the 1st trailer came out, and look how that happened. I thought Avatar was a pile o' dung, so if that's you what you think of Titanic, I get what you're saying.
