Siskel and Ebert gave it two fingers up!

It cost $54 million to make, and yet it grossed less than $4 million in its premiere weekend - a number that would have to be multiplied by five if the film were destined to make a profit.

Fuzzy math??

Why America Went Sour on Sweet Jen and Ben

Ah...because they have NO TALENT, and couldn't act their collective way out of a wet paperbag?

Too bad Mystery Science Theater is no longer around. This film is perfect for their parody.

These movie critics have nothing better to do but to worry about the success of a very talented and beautiful actress and singer.

Some people should seriously go get a fricking life.

As I recall, they each were paid $12,000,000 for this.

Wish my mistakes were as financially rewarding.

Whenever this much vehemence is aimed at a mere movie, something deeper is going on. Three things, in fact.

Schadenfreude is the $2 German word for delight in the suffering of others.

Nobody likes to admit they delight in the suffering of others . . . but, honestly, how did you feel the night Al Gore finally conceded the '00 election?

If Ebert says it is good, it's more proof that the guy is either senile or his reviews depend on how much he's paid under the table for his praise.

Why?

1. J-Ho is a flake who either marries, gets engaged to, or gets in a gunfight with every man she meets. Ben will be her 3rd husband.

2. Jenny from the Block has an ass the size of Brooklyn. She and Beyonce Knowles cannot fit inside the state of Rhode Island at the same time. The current trend of praising women with thunder thighs and gigantic posteriors is outrageous. Three words: Heidi Klum rocks.

3. Affleck clearly should have gone back on the sauce. What kind of guy, who is the toast of young Hollywood, eschews the single life to marry this tramp?

However, I believe the Onion had a great bit on how moviegoers wanted to change the ending of the movie. One suggestion: a horrible car wreck that leaves them trapped in the flames, Ben and J-Ho eagerly struggling against each other to save themselves. Neither survives.

It's the hollyweird media that have done all in their power to bring Jennifer Lopez down. They always seek something negative to say about her while protecting their favorite weirdos.
