"That tap-tap-tapping sound you hear is another nail being driven into the coffin of the romantic comedy."--from Dargis's July 24 review of Robert Luketic's "The Ugly Truth."

Could she have been doing it for effect?
She's an effective killer of the unwanted genre.
Dead wrong, dead as a doornail wrong if you prefer. The estimable Ms. Dargis simply wrapped a cliche around a subject, to immediately convey an intended connotation, much as I just did. So touche to you, mon frere.
