Anyone got a screen shot of the news of the world review? There's seems to be a bit of a shit storm about it so I'm curious but it's behind the murdoch paywall so I can't read it. It all sounds quite funny. I was reading the guys twitters there and he seems to be fighting off the anger of cornish fans.
The only bit I have read is the little blurb on the rotten tomatoes page and it just says "utter bollocks"! I'd love to read the rest.

probably best to keep anything like that off a+j.com (screenshots of stuff behind a paywall)

fair enough. didn't occur to me, but you're right. Sorry.

A bit of a summary from someone who's read it would be nice though please.

actually....forget the screenshots and summaries. there's no need anymore. the guy did a thing on his facebook which basically goes over his review and explains why he didn't like it. Good stuff.

If you go to his Facebook page, he explains the thinking behind his comments and in doing so, pretty much repeats the review.
