Find reviews...

Find three reviews from the original run of your movie. Be aware of dates, especially if there has been a remake or similarly titled film. Also, remember you are looking for movie reviews, not theatre reviews. Summarize each review into 4-5 sentences. Cite the original article.

Example

Hale, Mike. Supercalifragi--Oops, Wrong Nanny. NY Times, August 19, 2010.

This review of the new film Nanny Mcphee Returns offers a short plot summary and discussion of the film as it was released in Great Britain. The review discusses the performances of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Emma Thompson but states the standout performances really go to the children in the film. Several well-known actors have cameo appearances.
