That Washington Post review may be the bitterest, angriest "positive" review I've ever read. Something tells me that Jack would have expected as much.
That is an odd one, isn't it? But it's at least nice to see that the reviewer could separate his personal views from his opinion of the movie as a piece of entertainment. I'm not sure I'm capable of that very often.
