lol..the article reminds me of a F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode when joey newly learns how to use the thesauras in MicrosoftWord. He goes overboard and uses it on every single word.

So "they are warm, nice people with big hearts" becomes "they are humid prepossessing homo sapiens with full sized aortic pumps"😆

Looks like a thesaurus threw up on the author..😆

I do not see wha's the big deal about! I agree that the movie is about a trip that friends take after they reach their late 20's, mid 30's, and many friends do not do that, however that does mean that all of the stuff shown in this movie is far from reality, all of this can come true in real life! for instance I would not call Gossip Girl escapist cinema, even though their worlds are hugely different ,the human emotions do not change! if one could make a connect with ther friendhip between the characters of this movie, and can make a connect with them, then I do not see, what's the big issue! anyway it seems like the audience has been able to connect with the characters and the script that is why it is a HIT.

Seriously, I gotta give you creidt for getting through this. I actually got PISSED OFF after the first sentence. Wanted to take those tomatoes from that festival scene and throw it at journalist who wrote this piece of crap.

The first sentence is four lines long...Ha. Is he/she praising ZMND like the next best thing to sliced bread?
