The most frustrating thing is when movies just come out to decide BETWEEN what's hype , what's normal cynicism ( some arts people can't hack celebration of the good) The Nyork reviewer talks about a load of sugar and I think i wish we had newspapers that were worth buying - The NY reviewer can't even split it out- makes him seem like the dill .
