| Pete: What did you think about the movie? Megan: What a hoot! I couldn’t stop laughing the entire time. Pete: I know. That was the funniest movie that I have seen in a long time. Megan: I can’t believe that it got such terrible reviews. Pete: Sometimes, comedy movies get really bad reviews but are still funny. Megan: Why do you think that is? Pete: I think that many critics don’t like comedy movies because comedy movies are silly and not very artistic. But many regular people like that kind of movie. So, there is often a difference between what movie critics think and what regular people think. Megan: I never thought about it that way, but I think that you may be right. | |
