![Er, I don’t mean to quibble imdb but if you DID enjoy the 1998 Jada Pinkett-wife-of-Will-Smith-of-course ‘comedy’ vehicle (which I confess I have not seen but looks like it might be worse than Confessions of a Shopaholic which, as we all know, is the second worst movie ever made after Camp Rock. Nothing on earth is worse than Camp Rock however, not even wet towels that have been left on the floor and smell of mildew, or shoes that leak, or 9/11, or the holocaust. It is ‘The Worst’. So, ‘Woo’ looking marginally better than Camp Rock really proves nothing because nothing is worse than Camp Rock) then I’m not entirely convinced you’re going to be gleaning a whole bunch of joy out of ‘The Believer’ the brutal true-story about an anti-semitic Jew.Let’s compare the plots shall we? ‘Gorgeous and extravert Woo meets insecure and straight-laced law clerk Tim at a blind date.’ [presumably it’s a glaring oversight that the text stating ‘…with hilarious consequences’ has been left off the end of that sentence] Versus ‘A young Jewish man develops a fiercely anti-Semitic worldview. Based on the true story of a KKK member in the 1960s who was revealed to be Jewish by a New York Times reporter.’ Not to suggest that this world we inhabit is filled with two dimensional reductive stereotypes wherein ones enjoyment for the low brow and high brow are guarded exclusively by either the Lord Highpriestess of Stupidity and Sparkles ‘Paris Hilton’ or Professor Richard Dawkins and you may enter Paris’s house or Dawkin’s abode but never both at the same time (though you CAN go into one of these places and discuss pretentiously and at length whether the future of quantum mechanics suggests that one could be in SEVERAL places at once and Schrodinger’s Cat and misc and science and etc - the place where this discussion takes place may surprise you!) but, I guess that is exactly what I am suggesting.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0kvuc1HoU1qakcnho1_500.jpg)

Let’s compare the plots shall we?
‘Gorgeous and extravert Woo meets insecure and straight-laced law clerk Tim at a blind date.’
[presumably it’s a glaring oversight that the text stating ‘…with hilarious consequences’ has been left off the end of that sentence]
Versus
‘A young Jewish man develops a fiercely anti-Semitic worldview. Based on the true story of a KKK member in the 1960s who was revealed to be Jewish by a New York Times reporter.’
Not to suggest that this world we inhabit is filled with two dimensional reductive stereotypes wherein ones enjoyment for the low brow and high brow are guarded exclusively by either the Lord Highpriestess of Stupidity and Sparkles ‘Paris Hilton’ or Professor Richard Dawkins and you may enter Paris’s house or Dawkin’s abode but never both at the same time (though you CAN go into one of these places and discuss pretentiously and at length whether the future of quantum mechanics suggests that one could be in SEVERAL places at once and Schrodinger’s Cat and misc and science and etc - the place where this discussion takes place may surprise you!) but, I guess that is exactly what I am suggesting.
