Best ever four word book review

Cafe Society
1

My daughter, who is 21 months old, picked up the book I am currently reading - My Booky Wook by Russell Brand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4vvhqOY2Fg

She leafed through the book for about a minute and half looking particularly at the photos. She then put down the book and said " Woman…guy…funny…sexy."

I thought this to be a fantastically good review of the book

Am I the only one slightly disturbed that your 21 month old daughter already has an accurate conception of “sexy”?

3

Not bad, but I’m afraid I’d have to give the nod to:

“Tonstant Weader fwowed up.”

I assume she was using the word in the way that Cambodians use the word. In their sense it kind of means ‘showing a lot of skin - in the sense of not wearing many if any clothes’. There are photos of a near-naked Russell in the book. But the usual sense of ‘sexy’ is great for her review.

Dorothy, is that you?

That’s an excellent review, but what you’ve quoted is really only the last four words of a much longer review. It’s not even the entire last sentence of that review.
If you’re looking for short reviews, I understand that there was a review of a play entitled Bang! for which the entire review was Ouch!.

I think there’s another review that’s even shorter, but I can’t remember what it was for. The entire review was “!”

In the 80’s, guitarists from Genesis, Asia and Yes formed a supergroup (if you can call it that) called GTR (guitar) and released a self-titled album, which was reviewed in Rolling Stone. The entire review: “SHT”.

8

Why didn’t they just call themselves GAY?

9

To paraphrase:

“Covers too far apart.”

Cal, were you thinking of the shortest correspondence ever written? It may have been apocryphal, but it was between Victor Hugo and his publisher. The publisher allegedly responded to Hugo with “!”.

11

I’m fond of the four letter review: tl;dr

12

I can’t find the cite, but I recall reading that a review (Ebert’s maybe?) for a movie starring Frank Langella was similarly terse, wrapped up in 2 words. The movie: Sphinx. The review: “It did.”

Here’s one for The Bible — Wait for the sequel.
