Strong Medicine

It's not fair to mock film critics for small mistakes. No one's perfect. But when they're published in the Los Angeles Times, shouldn't someone catch these things?

In I [Heart Symbol] Huckabees, two characters take turns hitting each other in the face with a light, inflatable ball as a distraction therapy. However, Carina Chocano, in her Times' review, states "...Tommy and Albert bash each other in the head with medicine balls to stop thinking."

Medicine balls are best known as those massive things guys in a gymnasium throw around for unexplained and non-aerobic reasons in movies set about a century ago. The Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary defines a medicine ball as "a heavy stuffed leather-covered ball used for conditioning exercises." Getting hit by one would stop you from thinking, alright.
