The Shortest Movie Reviews Ever

These are hilarious. Please send on any additions you may think of.

I have a small collection of the shortest movie reviews ever. There are, I am sure, many many more out there, but these are the ones I have compiled. Needless to say, they are all bad reviews.

Short Funny Movie Reviews:

1. James Agee (one of the best film critics of all time) wrote as his review for the film You Were Meant for Me: "That's what you think".

2. I Am a Camera: there was a review attributed to various people (Kenneth Tynan was one of them) which said, bluntly: "Me no Leica".

3. Ernest Scared Stupid: an unknown reviewer wrote: "Ernest doesn't need to be scared to be stupid."

4. Isn't it Romantic, Leonard Maltin's entire review said: "No."

5. Rabbit, Run, Gene Siskel purposefully left a blank space where the review should have been.

6. From a review for Gladiator: "Ben hur, done that."

7. Jon Stewart's review for Battlefield Earth: "The movie is a cross between Star Wars and the smell of ass."

My favorite one is the Jon Stewart quote. By far. Cracks me up every time. Thanks for including it!
