Movie Buzz How can you tell if a movie's any good or not without actually seeing it? Oh, yeah: Critics!

Update: As someone said as we left the theater at 3 a.m., “Well, at least we got that over with.” Un-smiley face.
What better way to promote your movie than with free protection. And a funny pun.
