HERE'S Another Movie Review That Leonard Maltin BLEW!

You know HOW the weatherman gets a six-figure salary to forecast the weather, and he/she is WRONG more than half the time? Yup, it works THAT way with movie critics, too. I checked-out
"Captain Ron," this morning, on ENCORE (part of the STARZ package on cable), and found it (well,
if not hilarious) surprisingly amusing. So, WHAT did movie critic Leonard Maltin say about it?
"Dreadful timewaster establishes its comic credentials by giving {Kurt} Russell the funny role and
{Martin} Short the straight one." Oh, yes, Maltin rated the movie a BOMB, too. Come on, Lenny,
"Plan 9 From Outer Space" WAS a BOMB; I'd give THIS flick two-and-a-half-stars JUST for the INSPIRED casting move of making Kurt Russell the comic, and Martin Short the set-up man. Personally (and THIS is just MY bias), I find Martin Short to be about as funny as an attack of
hemorrhoids. Kurt Russell WORKS because NOBODY expects him to be funny, but he IS! I had a GOOD TIME watching the movie (but then, again, I'm a HUGE Kurt Russell fan!).

I'm the bad guy? How'd that happen?
