Moviegoers Can Claim $5 Following 'Fake Critic' Settlement - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Zebra 3 · 08-08-2005, 12:40 PM

(Studio Briefing) As a result of a settlement in the class-action suit against Sony Pictures, moviegoers who saw any of the Sony movies that were touted by a non-existent critic in Sony's ads may apply for a $5.00 share of the settlement money. The movies include A Knight's Tale, Vertical Limit, The Animal, Hollow Man and The Patriot. Moviegoers may also apply for a like sum for up to one adult and two children who saw any of the movies with them. The applications may be obtained online at www.gilardi.com/rezec . There's a small catch, however. If more than 100,000 applications are received, all of the settlement money will be donated to charity.

Seriously, what self respecting film critic would have anything nice to say about "The Animal?"

I've always had a feeling some of those critical raves were made up.

...apparently , the same lawyers who lost the case figured out a way to cover Sony's butt in a way that they can look like good guys and not really lose a penny!!! ( Charitable donations are tax refundable )
