Owen Gleiberman/Entertainment Weekly's movie review forgot something important

Owen Gleiberman - movie critic for Entertainment Weekly - offers a review of the new film "Under the Same Moon", a tearjerker designed to make illegal immigration acceptable.

Unfortunately, Glieberman forgot to tell his readers that the movie was financed by the Mexican government. The same government that profits from illegal immigration is now financing a movie designed to support illegal immigration.

Not only that, but the last few words of his review - and similar quotes sniping at Lou Dobbs - is now being used in their ad:

Under the Same Moon's politics sneak up on you. The film says that the U.S. immigrant situation is untenable, but then it forces us to ask: What should be done? That's a good enough "argument" to find in a movie with an ending so touching it could make Lou Dobbs cry.

I've contacted EW, and hopefully they'll update his review to point out that the movie is propaganda financed by a foreign government.
