Hollywood Rant #1: Shawn Edwards Is a Disgrace to Film Critics (And Film Critics Didn't Have All That A Good Reputation to begin with.)

Film Critics are not the horrific breed they are often cracked up to be.

Some of them are awesome. I happen to look up to Leonard Maltin.

But there is one critic who gives all others a bad name.

His name is Shawn Edwards.















Shawn Edwards (Right), The Film Critic's Bad Seed.

Here are Shaun Edwards reviews for the films of the past 2 years:

Are We There Yet? - A family film that's perfect for everyone. It will have you laughing from beginning to end.
Kicking and Screaming - This comedy is perfect for the entire family! You'll be Kicking and Screaming with laughter from beginning to end.
The Longest Yard - A winning comedy! Scores with laugh after laugh. Touchdown!

Guess Who - Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher are flat-out hilarious.
Hitch - Hitch is the Comedy of the Year. Highly Entertaining and Laugh-Out-Loud Funny!
Diary of a Mad Black Woman - A throw your hands in the air, knee-slapping, gut-busting crowd pleaser!
The Wedding Date - Tremendously funny. An old-fashioned romantic comedy with a cool contemporary vibe! Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney are a flawless match.
Be Cool - The coolest movie of the year!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - The coolest! Combines romance, action and humor. You've never seen anything like it before!
Lords of Dogtown - A wild and radical ride. Heath Ledger is amazing.
Constantine - Original. Classic. Action-packed and mind-blowing.
XXX: State of the Union - XXX: State of the Union is a deliciously explosive thrill seeker's delight!
Sahara - Spectacular! Sahara is a big adventure full of major league action and clever surprises. It's Indiana Jones and James Bond rolled into one incredibly fun film to watch.
The Great Raid - More compelling than Saving Private Ryan. Intelligent and inspiring!
Waiting - Outrageously funny! The craziest comedy of the year!
The Skeleton Key - Unlock the secret of the best thriller of the year. Totally creepy and intense
At Last - ` One of the best romantic movies in years!
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants - `! Excellent! The most charming and wonderful movie you'll see all year.
Get Rich or Die Tryin’ - `! The most powerful movie of the year! Profoundly uplifting and utterly provocative. An instant classic like Scarface.
Robots - The most dazzling animated feature ever made.
Into the Blue - "Super hot. It sizzles with sexiness!"
The Cave - "It will scare you out of your seat."
Underclassman - "Nick Cannon gets an A+! He's witty, charming and fun to watch."
Crossroads-"Crossroads is a perfect teen dream. It has everything that makes a movie totally cool: laughs, adventure, spirit, hot music, drama and of course BRITNEY! Britney rocks! She is like a comet. A talent of her magnitude only comes around once in a lifetime and you can't take your eyes off her when she is on screen in this totally cool and delightfully hip movie." And there's plenty more where that came from."

Folks, Roger Ebert gets it right every once in a while. Shaun Edwards wouldn't know a good movie if it bit him on his *expletive deleted*.
