We think mighty highly of ourselves, don't we

I saw a commercial for the new Reese Witherspoon movie over the weekend, and it was touted as "The Best Comedy of the Year!" Now, I love me some Reese, but really? Of the YEAR?! It's only February. There are a lot of comedies still to come. Most of which will be better than "This Means War." Although maybe that's how they spin it - the best comedy so FAR this year. And "the best comedy of the past 7 weeks" doesn't have as much oomph to it. (And still probably isn't true.)

Same goes for saying "it's the #1 comedy!" But what they don't say is that there are four dramas, a foreign film, and a Harry Potter movie ahead of it in the ratings. Still, technically the #1 comedy. Sneaky bastards.
