A (re)view to remember

I asked my friend Paddy for a review on "The Guardian", which he watched a few days ago. Now I've read lots of intensely analytical reviews, sharp critical reviews, and yet, this one, for some reason, seems to top them all.

"It was about US guards jumping out of helicopters saving people and stuff. And then there is this dude who is like semma range coast guard who retires and goes to a military school to teach other budding coast guards. And then there are more ships sinking and people jumping from helicopters and stuff. Lots of water also, and waves. And rain too. Wet movie in other words."

@me
the review doesnt help ? whats wrong with you? as nish says, it captures the essence of hte movie beautifully. people dont appreciate good reviews even if it hits them on their nose.

Atleast its more descriptive than the review on happy feet! what was that one again? "There are penguins which sing and dance and swim"... was it?

@eod
the hindu and indian express could learn a lot from him dont u think :) ?

@me
accordng to the sane ppl who watched the movie, its worth watching.

@nam
that was "theres this big penguin and these little penguins and this cliff, and then they all dance."

yep. definitely! and happy feet was a very nice movie.. the whole point of however was that "all" penguins dont dance.. a tad inaccurate there :D
