My mini-review of RED ONE.

Short version: …I swear to God, some people just don’t like silly, slightly sloppy fun.

Slightly longer version: the guy whose place I held in the snack line so that he could get his pregnant wife properly situated had seen RED ONE a week earlier, and he told me it was a good bad film. …That’s fair. High Cinema it is not. But it was goofy entertainment and Christmas-y at the same time, albeit with a bunch of cussing and a highly contrived excuse to visit a beach in Aruba. When it comes on, you’ll probably like it.

I personally feel like sometimes movie critics need to grade more on a curve. This is one of those times.
