I have to agree with brian1975, Schneider's probably laughing all the way to the bank. Even though I think he's wrong to attack Goldstein, maybe he isn't really that upset after all and just saw it as an oppurtunity to promote his movie. To me, Goldstein's and Ebert's criticism of Deuce Bigalow reveals more about them than it does about the movie.

As far as the necessity of having professional critics goes, I must invoke Tim Robbin's president of the U.S.A. from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me when talking about blowing up the moon: "Would you miss it...would you miss it!?"

If all the critics just took off all of a sudden, the world wouldn't notice.
