Question of the Day

I've wasted a lot of pixels in the last few days with my reviews of the plays I've seen here at Stratford, but, to quote the immortal bard, "Brevity is the soul of wit." So,
What's your favorite capsule review -- twenty-five words or less -- of a film or play?
I have two. When Titanic opened, The Weekly Alibi in Albuquerque opined: "Oh, sink already."

The second one is the famous three-word review of the 1955 film I Am A Camera, upon which the musical Cabaret was based: "Me no Leica."

And please feel free to make up your own for a favorite -- or reviled -- film or play.
