My 10-year-old granddaughter and I saw the preview for the new Jack Black film Year One the other day. We both remarked that it looked funny and might be worth seeing. Thank goodness I read this review first. From Victoria Jackson's description, Judd Apatow & Co. must have written the film on toilet paper!
I'm grateful that Ms. Jackson had the good sense to get up and leave the theater, and was kind enough to warn the rest of us to stay away.

I knew enough to run after seeing the preview. Phew!

You know a movie's bad when its billboard scream "stupid, horrible garbage."
Year One's weak opening indicates that we weren't the only ones who dodged this crass bullet.

Since you're a discerning moviegoer, I think you should keep the kids away from the new "Transformers" flick. Here are a couple of reviews:

Interesting idea. Looks like movie reviews are saving more than just me.
