Roger Ebert gives us a Thumbs Up...

sheesh, here i just dogged Ebert for his review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and now he compliments some people in Naptown. from last Sunday's "Answer Man" column:

Q. Re "Deuce Bigalow": You guys always seem puzzled how stuff like that gets made. Ya' know, there's a huge audience for this crap in America. That's why it keeps getting made. And yes, I'll admit that even these crap movies can have their funny moments. I live in Indianapolis and I know there's a bunch of Deuce Bigalow fans in this town. They're beer-guzzlin', dope-smokin', truck-drivin', pit-bull-ownin', head-shavin', ball-cap-wearin', crime-committin', jackass psychopaths whose parents (if there were any) didn't want to bother with the job of teaching and controlling them. Garbage in, garbage out, so the parents are probably just like their offspring. The United States is rife with them. It's ugly and it's increasingly one of the causes for the ruination of a once civilized, safe nation.

Indianapolis also harbors many heroic, civilized and cultured citizens, as befits the home office of Steak n Shake.
