You have to admit ... this is pretty funny.

Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks.

You see the same reaction among people whether it's about entertainment meaning movies, or sports (just look at the discussions of LSU Vs. the much lesser talented USC of two years ago
), and most certainly politics.
People feel passionately about certain things and at times when they have decidedly different points of view they will reduce their discussions to attacks of a personal nature.
If you can't discredit the argument then discredit the person.
Mr. Schneider's maturity and apparenly his research abilities are somewhat in question in this case. I'm no fan of movie critics because I've found their reviews to be not very helpful to me in terms of identifying a movie that I'd be interested in seeing. Duece Bigalow - I didn't see it and I likely won't see Duece Duece. The critics didn't influence that decision as I just look at that sort of flick and think... meeeh...not so much. I do recall one movie that was pretty much universally panned for such poor acting, etc that I enjoyed many times: Top Gun. After seeing it serveral times I think the critics were right -- that is some atrocious acting but I was still entertained by it. The critics were pretty harsh on that one though and I remember reading the reviews way back then and thinking -- wow -- these guys are useless to me as movie reviewers because I liked this movie. Just different points of view.
If Rob Schneider expected critical accolades for Dropping the Duece he's a little misguided and again his retort to the critics review was more than a little lacking in maturity.
