Hilarious cherry-picking of a review to put a blurb on DVD case

So I see the DVD of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and right on the front it gives this blurb: "'Hilarious' - A.O. Scott, The New York Times". Now, I know that marketers will cherry-pick a review to put something good on the cover of a DVD or book, so I figured that I'd check Mr. Scott's review to see if this was an accurate interpretation of how he felt about the film.

This is where the quote quote unquote* came from: "The new movie, meanwhile, recaptures the silly, sloppy spirit of its predecessor, minus the crucial element of surprise. It’s a frequently amusing, occasionally hilarious, rarely unpleasant grab bag of mild mockery and inspired lunacy, decked out with cameos from beloved comic performers and random celebrities."

Ya gotta give those marketers credit!



* See what I did there?




And that rabbit is gettin' on my last nerve!!!
