Jack White (whose music I like) was insufferable throughout, like he was playing a character he had invented. the Edge (whose music I'm luke warm about) was genuinely likeable, sort of an everyman who knows he's lucky to get to do what he does.

At least I know who DeLay (note the capitalization) is. I don't recognize about a quarter of these "stars". Not that I watch, of course…

Mass appeal type entertainment is exactly where I care about reviews the most. There's a not so fine line between guilty pleasure and being a sucker.

"I would never want to see you standing in the line of fire… something, something, something…."

The kid can't get the toys because the movie was awful? I guess he can forget about those "The Proposal" action figures too.

I wanted noise, robots and popcorn. I knew it was crap, but was going to go anyway until I found out it was 2 1/2 hours long. That's adding insult to injury (and insult).
