SF-TX--
My
About Schmidt moment occurred when I went to see
Chaplin (1992). With all the critics buzzing about the film receiving mulitple Oscar nominations, no one took the time to point out that John Barry did the score.
Worse, no one did the courtesy of pointing out that the film had a tell tale kiss of big time suckery: the writing credit had three different groups of names separated by both the word "and" as well as an ampersand.
To his credit, Anthony Lane hit it out of the park in 2005 with his review of Episode III,
here.
FWIW, "review the reviewer" is a tool I stumbled upon at the University of Texas. In my experience, reading multiple reviews by the same person can help one quickly figure out what that reviewer is bringing to the table. (Unfortunately, "photocopy books / articles / and reviews starting from the last page" was a tool that had to be pointed out to me.
