Fooled In Chicago

American Graffiti was a well-reviewed hit, but because the local critic in George Lucas's hometown Modesto didn't like it, a lot of his old friends and relatives figured it was a failure.

Luckily, those days are gone. With the internet, no longer need anyone be enslaved by local critics.

That's why people in Chicago shouldn't be fooled about Lakeview Terrace. Though two of Chicago's most widely read papers give it the highest rating possible, anyone with access to a computer can see almost every other critic thinks it's a stinker.
