As in Tales from Southern California, but a different California, where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is an action star turned prophet, Justin Timberlake is a veteran of Iraq, Sean-William Scott is actually a pair of twins, and Sarah Michelle-Gellar is a porn star named Krysta Now. “No-one rocks the cock like Krysta Now.” Or so we’re told.

One of the great values of all good criticism, and certainly film criticism, is that it can create and employ a consistent aesthetic to critique and appreciate the films that are reviewed. Of course not all critics do this. Many are all over the map with barely a clue as to why they diss one film and embrace another.
