...same sites for about $4 less. As a comedy, Hard To Hold has its moments: more smiles than belly-busting hysterics of the successful and more entertaining Splash or Arthur, With only two concert scenes, it fails as an extended video for all but the most committed pop-drivel addicts...

Or if you swallowed the articles of what can only charitably be called drivel which Alexander Cockburn published in The Village Voice, you ought to be a rabid anti-Semite. Only a few Martin Peretz, William Safire and Norman Podhoretz among them had the intelligence to announce that the Americans were being snarled in lies.
