Why do people think that they are big shots if they get to see an advanced screening of a movie? WOW so someone may have got to see the movie first its not like no one else is going to ever get to see it. : When I read this "inside" report, I just kept in mind that this was entirely, 100% someone's opinion. Whether they did or didn't see the flick doesn't matter. What does matter is the fact that the guy clearly didn't like it (if, in fact, he did see it). Some people like certain films, other people don't. No big deal. I don't see why people are so up in arms about the issue. So some random Internet "journalist" wrote an editorial review of "Jersey Girl" claiming it was a piece of shit. That's his opinion. Upon seeing the film, if you start singing praises of it, how would you feel if people who didn't like the movie started calling you things like "moron" and "asshole"? Why do any of you give a shit what he says about the film? Why do you feel a need to defend it? You haven't even seen the movie yet, and already you've formed your opinions about it. You're defending a film that you haven't even seen yet against an opinionated Internet reporter who writes editorials for an overly cynical website. Personally, I have pledged to reserve all judgment until AFTER I've seen the film. I'm not going to defend it, and I'm not going to bash it because I haven't seen it. So, until all of the board members who felt the need to insult and berate the person who wrote the review actually see "Jersey Girl", I suggest they do the same.
