...world full of graduation requirements and thesis work, in a time of Add/Drop forms, core lotteries and 9 am sections, what undergrad hasn't desired to just get away to someplace--any place. A magical place. A place with SoSo Whaley and the Literary Llama Zoo Mobile. A place filled with celebrities, like Herb Reed and the Platters, 1998 American Honey Princess Sarah Paulson, and "Gary the Silent Clown." A place where adolescent girls lead their miniature horses through miniature obstacles, where pygmy goats get equal billing with Canadian-style oxen-pulling (a 12 foot, 3,000 pound free...

Still, these at least are legitimate critics. More and more blurbs are coming from broadcast reporters who do not review films at all, but happily provide quotes for the asking. The trailblazer for these troops was the late Jim Whaley, host for an Atlanta public-TV interview show whose effusive quotes were a movie marketer's dream. Today some of the most popular blurbers are entertainment reporters like ABC radio's Bill Diehl ("inspired, fascinating and profound," he cheered for Swing Kids) and Hollywood interviewer Jeanne Wolf ("one of the great classic romantic adventures," she raved of Sommersby).

...Philip Barry (Holiday) and Beth Henley (Crimes of the Heart). But she has learned little from any of them about building comedy or character. Though this off-Broadway production, handsomely designed by Loren Sherman, boasts two movie-marquee names -- bossy Marcia Gay Harden, frazzled Julie Hagerty -- it is Frank Whaley (the kid at the diner in Hoffa) who carries the burden of the play and almost makes it soar.
