Thanks, mXm. If I knew I definitely had to discuss something in a review in order to make a point, I would plant spoiler flags all around it. But in some cases, it's not sure and you want to just give a light warning. Those that want it can read a breakdown of the ENTIRE story, gags and all, on imDb.com. Much of the time, to get some sense of what the critic is talking about, a certain amount of plot needs to be revealed as evidence of that point or to give readers a better view of the picture. BTW, I hope my C+ for LIVE FREE didn't scare anyone off from seeing it, as other than the disappointment of my expectations I did have quite a few positive things to say in that review. It's just that when Willis sets me up by saying it's the best since DIE HARD, I expect a plausible film that delivers action while playing by the rules. I consider McClane suddenly knowing how to fly a helicopter and the numerous examples of magic computers to be breaking that pact of plausibility with the audience. But who knows - I may calm down a bit by the time the DVD is out to give it a B. And I know how much you all hate it when we grade anything a B. _BT

If Hollywood releases three grade B movies in one day, we at MANIA will give them three B grades. Are we to hand out Ds and As randomly, just to break things up? If we see three A movies, then you'll see three A grades. Will you complain then? Let's review: Mania does not make the movies. We just report on them and review them. And like it or not, most movies (or anything else, except rap music) that is released are more likely to be grade B than any other grade. And to monkeypie, if I were reviewing this as an edgy, hip comedy, I would indeed give it a D. But it's not that, and it was judged according to what it IS. _BT

Biggest Disappointment: When Evan asks God why he needs to build the ark, Freeman doesn't reply, "I gots to make water, Miss Daisy!" _BT
