Friends don't let Jackasses drink and drive.

The Lucky One is at its heart a romance novel, elevated however by Nicholas Sparks' persuasive storytelling. Readers don't read his books because they're true, but because they ought to be true.

Only enormously talented people could have made Death to Smoochy . Those with lesser gifts would have lacked the nerve to make a film so bad, so miscalculated, so lacking any connection with any possible audience.
Roger Ebert

It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says, 'To hell with the consequences.'

We are the playthings of the gods.

Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there.
Roger Ebert

I think most people are more susceptible to prejudice than to reason.

Growing up, I missed the whole 'Three Stooges' thing. Either they weren't on the station in my hometown, or we hadn't bought a TV set yet, or they came to town too late for me. I'm pretty sure that at the right age, I would have loved them.

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
