The title references a review Mr. Ebert did of the horrifically bad Rob Schneider film, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. I love reading Mr. Ebert's reviews, mostly because he and I tend to agree about what we don't like with respect to films. I disagree with him on a few things, though: I loved the Transformers trilogy, simply because I knew going in that I was going to watch giant robots and collateral damage. And that's all I wanted to see, really. Plot and characterization were secondary (if Michael Bay considered them at all).
This second book, which follows the amusing "I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie" (a title which refers to the woeful 1994 film North)is a collection of Ebert's most scathing reviews of films that didn't live up to anyone's expectations. If the film industry demands that we, the viewers, pony up at least $10 to see a film (add $5 for 3-D) then they should at least give us something good to look at.
