Film Critic Quote of the Week

Owen Gleiberman of EW, trashing "27 Dresses":

It's not that their movie is cynical; it's that all the chick-flick trappings — the fashion, the wedding chitchat, the masochistic one-way crush — drive the story rather than the other way around. 27 Dresses is a movie geared to a pitch of high matrimonial-princess fever. It's white-lace porn for girls of every age, and the way that it revelsin that get-me-to-the-altar mood, to the point of making anyone who isn't getting married feel like a loser, is the picture's key selling point.
I've written this before, but I really wish Owen would write a book about this- and give it a name like "White Lace Porn."
