I wasn't asking a question. To elaborate:
According to those here who are pro-Ebert, he reviews based on the quality of the filmmaking. If that's the case, then he shouldn't be casting Episode III in a positive light as it is a poor example of filmmaking. If he is interested in the audience's entertainment, that's another story. This is where it gets too subjective because while I enjoyed both Episode III and Deuce Bigalow, I know some wouldn't.
By the way, what is Star Wars if not
the most notorious example of a movie designed to "reap $$$." As well, the most recent installments had plenty of moments designed to make 12 year olds laugh. So I can certainly compare the two.
You're also wrong about Deuce Bigalow being for 12 year olds. I wouldn't have appreciated the full range of jokes until I was at least 18 or 19. That must be why I enjoyed it so much.... at 24!
