How movie studios misuse reviews


David Goldenberg says: Every week, Gelf compares the critic movie blurbs printed in the friday Times with the actual articles they come from.

An example:
16 Years of Alcohol

Daily Star: "Trainspotting meets A Clockwork Orange!"

Actual line: "This glum, violent drama about a Scottish thug ruined by drink is written and pretentiously directed by Richard Jobson whose approach — Trainspotting meets A Clockwork Orange — is bad enough to drive you to drink in no time." Link
