This guy does what I've always wanted to do. He takes the excerpts from movie reviews that movies put in their ads to entice people to go, and look up the context of the ad. He calls it the Blurb Racket

for example:

David Ansen, Newsweek: "Hilarious! A knockdown, drag-out romantic comedy."
Actual line: " 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' works far better as a knockdown, drag-out romantic comedy than as an action movie. The obligatory table-turning plot twists in the third act are neither convincing nor particularly interesting. And there were more than a few moments when I hadn't a clue what was going on: what was the warring couple doing at a construction site where Mrs. Smith threatens to blow up an elevator carrying Mr. Smith?"
