New York Times Movie Eviscerated in New York Times

The New York Times outsourced its review of Page One: Inside the New York Times to former New Republic editor Michael Kinsley, and his response was less than fawning: "The movie, directed by Andrew Rossi, is, in a word, a mess," he says, soon adding, "Like a shopper at the supermarket without a shopping list, Page One careers around the aisles picking up this item and that one, ultimately coming home with three jars of peanut butter and no 2-percent milk. [...] The Times deserves a better movie, and so do you. See His Girl Friday again." Still seeing it. And I'd pay double to watch David Carr square off against Roz Russell. [NYT]

    Saw the movie and read the review. Aside from being wildly off-the-mark, it's also really poorly written. Kudos for the outsourcing, I guess, but maybe they should've found someone who can actually put a sentence together.
