how does this happen?How does an outlet like Reel Suave get such a prominent link at the IMDB?
The site has lots of prominent links at IMDB as a “news source.” I don’t begrudge anybody their links. But this review wrongly credits Ethan Coen as a screenwriter -- it’s Etan Cohen, a completely different person -- and worse, the review is practically incoherent: Even before the movie has even begun we have people laughing in the audience with an unusual trailer of a Father who has done a bad bad boy. Justin Theroux and Ethan Coen who penned the script along with director Ben Stiller have created some sort of over the top farce that actually can’t help us from laughing. And that’s just the beginning of it. But hey! It turns out that all you have to do to become a news provider at the IMDB is to apply. I’ve done that. We’ll see if I get in...

Good grief. Every time I start to wonder why I bothered to major in English, I see something like that and I remember exactly why. XD

Was this review translated by Google? Perhaps it was originally written in French or something. In English, it's not so good.

Really, Mo? Really?
(Yes, I get you're making a joke. I'm too dismayed to laugh.)
This is less than ninth-grade writing. I was writing better than this in grade five, but I was reading White Fang in grade five, so I don't count myself as being average.

I don't think the guy knows what the word "imbibe" means...
Suffice it to say, a movie can imbibe nothing.

I cant believe you just wasted a post on this. It just seems to me that your jealous of their growth.
Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. I have seen lots of critics make spelling mistakes and write the worst meaningless, senseless and non-related reviews, but hey thats life and you have to deal with it, rather than bitching about it in true girly style.
Grow up.....its never too late.

Yup, I wasted a post. And they're in such limited quantity, too. I'll never get this post back.
I can't believe you wasted a comment telling me that.
