Too bad that Ron Brewington of American Urban Radio isn’t reviewing films anymore, he would have loved Zoom and declared it a frontrunner for an Oscar nomination as Best Film. Of course, that would have been after the film junket to Hawaii and the $10,000 worth of swag on the way out of the screening…
Walter Monheit would’ve been cheaper.

Actually, I think it’s that notorious film critic Fannee Doolee’s fault. She liked Tim Allen, but hated the female lead. I told them they should have credited her as Courtney Cox-Arquette.
Cardinal:
Only sometimes the studio doesn’t bother to get real reviews. (See David Manning.) Sometimes, more often than you think, the studio likes the review shell as-is, and so turns the fake reviews into “real” ones by asking a reviewer to attach his name to an existing blurb. (See Earl Dittman.)
A few weeks ago, I opined that film critics were “completely unnecessary.” Now I’m wondering if I was too charitable.
