Speaking of MEATHEAD:

Director Rob Reiner's reviews have never been worse.

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwell! Could it be that we we've spent so much of our life in the warm glow of good luck and praise, first as a member of an historic acting dynasty (well, he was a comedian), and then to hear our name mentioned as the rightful successor to Ernst Lubitsch and Preston Sturges, maybe even Billy Wilder? And now that we've done something -- MEATHEADED, what better to do than to blame it on standing up for the right to make money from GUVMENT -- for the sake of a noble cause. It was better when his crusade for BETTUR PUHBLIK EHDYUKAYSHUN was an eccentricity, the sort of well-meaning do-gooding we associate with Hollywood politicking at its least malignant; but as anyone in show-biz knows, you can never have too much power -- or money.

In the immortal words of Archie Bunker, MEATHEAD, go stifle yourself.
