Talk:Seven Days in Utopia

A rebuttal to the movie's poor reviews, moved here from the main article

This was added to the main article by "71.201.176.88", presumably someone associated with the film, on January 9, 2012. I found it too rich a source of entertainment to dispose of completely. MagFlare (talk) 14:10, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

If you read the Guardian article, not an actual review by the way, Matthew Russell, the film's director responds to the "review". He doesn't understand how a horrific review can be based on strictly reviewing the trailer without ever seeing the film. The "reviewer" explains that the point of the reviews and his column is to take trailers, take everything relevant, throw it out, and make sarcastic and idiotic comments as an attempt at humor. He apologizes to Russell, the humor being lost "over the pond" and that it really wasn't a funny column to begin with even on that side of the pond. In other words it isn't a real review and shouldn't be included as such in Wikipedia. Several people comment that they were at a screening where people gave the film a standing ovation! I usually love Wikipedia but this is just not at all indicative of the quality of the film. A liberal online newspaper from San Francisco is not going to like anything kind, sweet, and focused on God, yet that is the first "review" to which you link.I think the Guardian review specifically should be removed. It is not a review but an "Onion" type attempt at satirizing movie trailers. It would also be helpful of all of the reviews, with the exception of golf.com, were not liberal publications, traditionally hostile to anything to do with God.

Point taken. Added three more (largely) negative reviews from conservative publications. MagFlare (talk) 15:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
