What's an example of a movie review?
"A Christmas Story" is one of many people's all-time most beloved films. ACS was able to take the viewer to a time and a place in such a way that very few films ever have. It had a sweetness and goodwill to it that is rare.

So I awaited (and awaited) its sequel, "It Runs In The Family" . The film was almost released a couple of times, only to be pulled at the last minute. When it finally came out, IRITF was (and is, I guess) a total failure.

The sets and cinematography were just fine, but the directing totally, completely missed the mark. The film was nothing more than a cash-flow formula of lazy casting, lazy writing, and disconnected acting.

The narrator, Jean Shepard, who was one of America's great humorists and story-tellers, forced upon us a false reprise of the warm wit he used in ACS. He over-emoted, and why he did that I'll never know. He somehow managed to become an annoying, overwrought parody of himself.

The writing and acting in IRITF is inauthentic and forced. The actors may have seen ACS, but whatever wit and nuance that was in ACS mustn't have registered at all on any of them. The acting was embarrassingly slapstick and bereft of any of Shepard's dry humor.

ACS will always be a real treasure, but to call IRITF a sequel is to insult all of the fans of Jean Shepard and ACS.

What is an example of a movie review?
"A Christmas Story" är en av många människors genom tiderna mest älskade filmer. ACS kunde ta tittaren till en tid och en plats på ett sådant sätt att väldigt få filmer någonsin har. Den hade en sötma och välvilja till den som är sällsynt. Så jag väntade (och väntade) dess uppföljare, "It Runs In The Family" . Filmen släpptes nästan ett par gånger, bara för att dras i sista minuten. När den slutligen kom ut var IRITF (och är, antar jag) ett totalt misslyckande. Scenerna och filmerna var bara bra, men regin helt, helt missade målet. Filmen var inget annat än en kassaflödesformel av lat casting, lat skrift, och frikopplat skådespeleri. Berättaren, Jean Shepard, som var en av USA:s stora humorister och berättare, tvingade på oss en falsk repris av den varma kvickhet han använde i ACS. Han över-emotade, och varför han gjorde det får jag aldrig veta. Han lyckades på något sätt bli en irriterande, överansträngd parodi på sig själv. Skrivandet och skådespelandet i IRITF är oautentiskt och påtvingat. Skådespelarna kan ha sett ACS, men vilken slagfärdighet och nyans som än fanns i ACS får inte alls ha registrerat sig på någon av dem. Skådespelet var pinsamt slapstick och berövat någon av Shepards torra humor. ACS kommer alltid att vara en riktig skatt, men att kalla IRITF en uppföljare är att förolämpa alla fans av Jean Shepard och ACS.

The scenes and films were just great, but the direction completely, completely missed the goal. The film was nothing more than a cash flow formula of lazy casting, lazy writing, and decoupled acting. The narrator, Jean Shepard, who was one of America's great humorists and narrators, forced upon us a false replay of the warm wit he used in ACS. He over-opposed, and why he did it I'll never know. He somehow managed to become an annoying, overworked parody of himself. Writing and acting in the IRITF is unauthentic and forced. The actors may have seen ACS, but whatever wit and shade existed in ACS may not have registered at all to any of them. The performance was embarrassing slapstick and deprived any of Shepard's dry humor. ACS will always be a real treasure, but calling IRITF a sequel is insulting all fans of Jean Shepard and ACS.
