The average person, you see, isn't going to watch "Maid in Manhattan" AND "Two Weeks Notice" AND "How to Lose a Guy

Hence it is the movie critic who grows tiredest the fastest of films in which people either hate each other or like each other but under false pretenses, and in which hilarity is supposed to ensue but almost never does.
