Gelf Magazine has an interesting article on the truth behind movie review blurbs — you know, when a critic is quoted as saying that “this film is the best family movie of this summer — a must see” when in reality they said “this film is really bad, it ranks nowhere close to X, which is the best family movie of this summer; if you must see it, make sure to buy lots of popcorn!”
Anyhow… the article is called “The Funniest Movie You’ll See This Fiscal Quarter” and it is worth a gander. My favourites were from the reviews of My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
