She has wide disparity in her reviews too so I'm not sure what your point is.

The disparity I am refering to, is the disparity between the rave reviews of "the passion" by non-Christians who thought it was a master-piece and the reviews of this Lady and a few others that thought it was the worst movie ever.

It is a little hard for many to believe that there was no political or religious bias interfering with their reviews when they say it is so horrible and bad, because it is so at odds with other reviewers.

Another way to put it, I have never seen a movie where Ebert and Roeper, or Ebert and Siskel raved so much about how good a movie was, only to have other reviewers think it was completely dreadful. Maybe you can show me an example. Has there been another movie where Ebert and his partner have both given the movie 4 stars and other reviewers have given it a one star?

I tend to think it would be a rare case indeed where there was such a huge divergence, both in stars and in the descriptions. Which says to me, that some people are letting their political or religious bias interfere with their reviews. This is what I believe most people are upset at.
