Lucas and other directors don't subscribe to the cheap-date theory of movie attendance--that kids go to get out of the house, to be with their peers and away from their parents.

Ludwig, associate professor of pediatrics at HMS. Students who listed soda as an interest in their facebook profiles said that they would be disappointed if the price of soda rose. “I would...
Allen’s miraculous transformations into a sheepdog seem to have no real cause. They just happen whenever the filmmakers feel the need to elicit a cheap laugh or drive the flaccid plot forward. Indeed, “The Shaggy Dog” is one of the most contrived films to besmirch the good name of American cinema...
