: I hate Critics.......truly
: Kevins all bummed due to a few pompous assholes who, never met him , know NOTHING of his work and phoned in generic ho-hum reviews for a very sweet picture.
-- So because they haven't met him, they shouldn't be allowed to comment on his work? That doesn't make much sense. Most of the reviewers seemed pretty familiar with Kevin's past films, so that's not really fair either. I think it's more likely that the negativity associated with Ben & J. Lo (as well as sentimental films, to an extent) were the reasons for the bad response. They probably didn't appreciate Kevin saying that he didn't make JG for the critics either...
I stil haven't had a chance to see the film, but it's a bit small-minded to dismiss an entire group of people like this. Sometimes I've got to reprazent for my pompous asshole homies. Mind you, I generally dislike most critics who aren't me, so carry on.
