Thoroughly Gripping – ***½

LOL!!
2007, USA , Colour, 76 minutes
Directed by Glorious. B. Visage (afraid to use real name for fear or retaliation)
Written by Johnny Roffle, I. Nic Staines (see above)

Ever read publicity material for a film or book that doesn't bare any relationship with the truth or even the English language? You are not alone, as this documentary on the review industry proves. So just why do the industry persist in throwing out unbelievable praise on the junk they produce? Is it hubris or part of a wider conspiracy to defraud the American public? Turns out it's the latter.

Great moment – The hidden camera scene when a gang of school kids beat up the writer of the now infamous "tweenies will love twinnies" comment for one of the forgettable Olsen Twins vehicles.
