"This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels."
I wonder if critics (the ones who write a column every day or week) have paragraphs like this written out beforehand and look for a product to use it on? Sort of boilerplate?
