Never trust those movie ads

Nobody likes to have his work misrepresented. Even movie critics.

But it happens. Movie studios and marketing companies have been known to take bad or/lukewarm reviews and, by picking and choosing the choicest quotes, have made it seem as if the movie being reviewed is the second coming of “The Godfather.”

Don’t believe me? Then click here and read the results of a poll of critics done by Christian Toto , a journalist and freelance film critic whose work shows up in several national publications.

And if I didn’t already trust Christian, then the fact that he says his favorite movie is “Raising Arizona” would clinch the deal.

Below: Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly stars in “Stepbrothers,” which WASN’T the funniest film I saw in 2008.
