Hmm

Has this reviewer actually watched the film she's writing about?

The film in question is "Kicking and Screaming" the Will Ferrel Comedy where everyone's favourite funnyman ends up coaching his son's football team. I say "football" because I'm a Brit, as everyone knows we call 'soccer' by its rightful name and 'gridiron' by the name "American football". So I'm left wondering as to how such an epic goof-up as this could be loosed upon the pages of the Times:

Ferrell plays a well-meaning but clueless dad who is recruited to coach his son’s little league American football team. Ferrell plays a well-meaning but clueless dad who is recruited to coach his son’s little league American football team.

And 'Wendy Ide' plays a reviewer who may well have skipped the screening of this film and made some easy assumptions about what it's about. Seriously, I haven't read anything in that review that I wouldn't have ascertained from watching the trailer. That's one monumental fluff-up.

Oh and terrorists are bombing the London Transport System again. The Stopwatch is running till George Galloway starts blaming Homosexuals, Jews and us.

Later
