RTE film reviewers - Dirty Plagiarisers! (1 Viewer)

I finally saw Step Brothers last night, and like any Will Ferrell fan will agree, laughed until I nearly choked on popcorn, but more to the point, apart from checking the rating a film gets, I rarely read reviews fully before seeing the movie (to avoid spoilers).

So I land onto Empire today, read their full review and then to RTE.ie for same. THe reviewer, Taragh Loughrey-Grant completely ripped her review off from Empire! Paraphrased the whole thing, and then got lazier still and basically quoted the last paragraph word for word...

Check out Empire's

But when McKay focuses on the pure simplicity of the pair getting stupidly excited over tree houses, Chewbacca masks and samurai swords, Step Brothers is a hugely entertaining exercise in the comedy of the random, complete with improvised non-sequiturs, bonkers one-liners ("Your voice is a combination of Fergie and Jesus"), and a triumphant climactic sequence featuring a montage that’s actually funny.

and hers...

When McKay focuses on the pure simplicity of the pair getting stupidly excited over tree houses, Chewbacca masks and Samurai swords, 'Step Brothers' is a hugely entertaining testimony to the talent of Ferrell and Reilly and their improvisational skills, climaxing in a hilarious montage well worth staying in your seat for.

Is this what I (occasionally) pay my licence for?? Bring back Mailbag, I want to complain!

Shoddy though, shame on you Taragh

Report it

that bald guy with the little tuft of hair at the front off tv3 should review all movies from his bedroom imho.

step brothers looks shit. maybe it was a clever satirical comment on the fact that will ferrell's movies have all been a bunch of recycled shite since anchorman

Maybe Chris Hewitt is nicking his stuff from the keen insightful cinematic brain of our Tara.


What?
It could happen.

Sweet.

If we keep saying Taragh Loughrey-Grant is a plagiarising low life
then we can get this page on Google when she looks up her own
name!

edit:
Haha, too late!
This is her top search result

Getting paid for other people's work is genius itself.

cos, y'know, earning a living from other's work is really quite clever in itself

It's like the dole, except with a double barreled surname and a
copy/paste function.

This is almost as important as when that dude pretended to be reporting from Baghdad but was actually sitting on his loo in Manhattan or wherever.

Bet she posts here.

yeesh

snared rapid

Or someone else who posts here knows her/is going out with her, and says she's really sound.
