Imitation/Flattery Department

"Remember that scene in Knocked Up where Seth Rogen's Ben said that he dug Munich because he finally got to see a film in which the Jews kicked ass? He would have loved Defiance even more."
-Owen Gleiberman,Entertainment Weekly, Jan. 14.
"There's a famous scene in Judd Apatow's comedy "Knocked Up" in which the film's hero, played by Seth Rogen, gives a speech extolling the Steven Spielberg movie "Munich." FInally, Rogen's character says, there's a movie about Jews kicking everyone else's butts, as opposed to the other way around...Edward Zwick's "Defiance" is not a better film than "Munich," but had it come out three years earlier, might have been a better example for Rogen to cite."

True, my review hasn't been published yet, and the point was sort of obvious...
