Comments on: Smart People - Movie Review http://www.bloggernews.net/115084 High-quality English language analysis and editorial writing on the news.

The review, while not a positive one of the movie, clearly details the position and thoughts of the reviewer and makes a good case for that position. I have seen other commentary that while more positive, raised the same issues. I also reject the notion that because Sundance folks liked something the rest of the viewing world will too. In my case, I often find the fact that Sundance praised something is a kiss of death for me and I hate the film. Kevin R. Tipple Currently reading "Chasing Eden" by S. L.

This review boderlines on idiotic. Judging from the overwhelmingly positive reception at Sundance, “Smart People” is brilliantly written and superbly cast.
