The best movie review you’ve ever read

Plugging what I can only aspire to:

The most shocking opinion I harbor, however, is the fact that I dislike The Shawshank Redemption. This movie is regarded by many as a modern-day classic; it features many fine performances by great actors, and it is a heartwarming tale of friendship and redemption. For all this, however, I do not like the movie. This never fails to get a rise out of my friends, almost all of whom think it’s excellent. I always try to explain why I don’t like The Shawshank Redemption, but ordinary argumentation gets me nowhere.

I therefore devised the following Explanation of Why Shawshank Redemption Sucks, which is presented here in the form of a one-act play. This play features me and Socko, a sock puppet.

I still like The Shawshank Redemption all the same. Difference is, from now on every time I see it I’ll think of a sock puppet.
