Film Critic Glossary

The statement, "There are many plot holes in this movie" if it occurs without detailed explanation, really just means that the critic can't understand the plot on the first viewing and is not inclined to watch the movie again, not that there are real plot holes. Have you ever known a writer to see a flaw in another writer's work and not be willing to give an in-depth discourse? It sounds better to allude to flaws than to say, "I don't get it."
