I AM HAVING A PROBLEM HAVING CRITICS POUNDING ON RYAN REYNOLDS JUST BECAUSE HIS MOVIE DID NOT MAKE MORE THAN WHAT THE STUDIO'S EXPECTED..... IT'S NOT THE GUYS FAULT, HE DIDN'T DIRECT THE MOVIE, HE DIDN'T WRITE THE SCRIPT AND STORY, HE DIDN'T DECIDE TO PUT IN A 200 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET TO PRODUCE IT... SIMPLY PUT STOP BLAMING THE GUY IF THE MOVIE DIDN'T BREAK EVEN ON THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF SCREENING!
