Reviewing the reviews: 'Wallace & Gromit'
Today’s newspaper reviews for Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit are almost uniformly positive, and perhaps the positivity rubbed off on PopWatch, as most of the headlines we came across were at least moderately clever, if not downright inspired (though none quite as genius as a profile of director Nick Park in the Sommerville Journal titled “Plasti-scene stealers”). Still, you’ve got to wonder if these folks are all working with the same book of puns, as certain themes emerged.
Nope, they’re not referring to a certain ‘American Idol’ runner-up
