Film Critic Quote of the Week

Drew McWeeny of Hitfix on "Old Dogs":

If "Old Dogs" were a person, I would stab it in the face.... It is rare that I hate a film with the feverish intensity that I feel towards this one, but it hit pretty much every single button for me, and by halfway through, I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin.  What I thought was going to be a mediocre family-themed comedy instead struck me as one of the most singularly vile experiences I've had in a theater all year.  To give you an idea how wretched the film is, if you take the worst Robin Williams film, multiply it by the worst John Travolta film, and then multiply that by "Wild Hogs," the last film from director Walt Becker, you would still end up with something better than this.
"Wild Hogs"- which was like a remake of "City Slickers," only replacing all the humor with lazy gay jokes- was probably the worst Hollywood comedy of recent years, so there was no way I was seeing this garbage.
