Move Review Quote of the Week: The Day After Tomorrow

The New Yorker's Anthony Lane describes what happened in the theatre halfway through The Day After Tomorrow:

Lane adds:

Even by the standards of disaster movies, “The Day After Tomorrow” is irretrievably poor: a shambles of dud writing and dramatic inconsequence which left me determined to double my consumption of fossil fuels.
