2
3	'''Film:''' ''Literature/BridgeToTerabithia''
4
5	!!This review contains examples of:
6	* [[invoked]]AlternateCharacterInterpretation: To him, Leslie gets so into her and Jess's fantasy that she comes off to him as a CreepyChild with a twisted sense of reality. He then depicts this with a skit of Doug and Rachel as Jess and Leslie as adults (depicting what could have happened had [[spoiler:Leslie not died on the rope]]), and Rachel!Leslie still believes she's in Terebithia [[spoiler:and kills anyone who doesn't play along.]]
7	* {{Angrish}}: The Critic really loses it when the bully taunts Jessie about [[spoiler: Leslie's death]].
8	* ArtShift: The Critic notes that the film initially suggests the fantasy scenes will be in a handdrawn mixed with live-action style, but turn out to be CGI. He then parodies this by having his own show suddenly take on the tone of Creator/FrankMiller.
9	* BallsOfSteel: Critic's response to a passionate fan of the film threatening him with impaling his testicales with toothpicks, if he touches the movie, is to claim he barely has any feeling down there, due to all the abuse he has already suffered over the course of the show.
10	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Late in the review, the Critic's again complaining about how nothing seems to go wrong in this movie, then sees the parents crying:
11	-->'''Critic''': Well, good! Somebody better be dead!
12	-->'''Dad''': [[spoiler:Your friend Leslie is dead.]]
13	-->'''Critic''': [[LampshadeHanging ...send your angry emails to NostalgiaCritic@IdiotWithBadTiming.com!]]
14	* CallBack: He brings up how he first mentioned his dislike for the movie in his ''[[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticEditorial4 What's with the Princess Hate?]]'' editorial.
15	** Critic is Marv in the ''Film/SinCity'' joke. Doug related to the character's worthlessness in his "Top 10 Favorite Characters" and admitted to finding him attractive.
16	* EveryoneHasStandards: The Critic is outraged by the bully's taunt [[spoiler:about Leslie's death]] and actually condones him getting beaten up.
17	* ItWillNeverCatchOn:
18	-->'''Critic!Leslie:''' I also have this idea for a [[Film/TheHungerGames young adult series]] [[Literature/TheHungerGames that rips off]] Literature/BattleRoyale...
19	-->'''Critic![[ActorAllusion Jess]]:''' [[TakeThat Sounds trite...]]
20	* MundaneMadeAwesome: "IT'S A FRIGGIN' ROPE!"
21	* [[invoked]]{{Narm}}: Maybelle, a little eight year old girl telling Leslie God will damn her to Hell comes off as hilarious to the Critic.
22	* OpinionMyopia: InUniverse. Critic invokes it in a BaitAndSwitch at the start of the review:
23	-->'''Critic''': Well, I'm not one to one to disagree with other people's opinions. [{{beat}}] Unless they're stupid and not mine.
24	* PayEvilUntoEvil: The Critic admits he normally wouldn't condone a kid solving their problem with violence, but feels the bully that taunts Jessie about [[spoiler:Leslie's death]] deserved to get punched out.
25	* [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Womanchild]]: The Critic thinks Leslie will grow up to be one of these. See AlternateCharacterInterpretation above[[invoked]].
26	* ShoutOut: Rachel!Leslie tortures Malcolm in a manner similar to Francis Dolarhyde from ''Literature/RedDragon''.
27	* TakeThat: When introducing Creator/AnnaSophiaRobb, he compares her looks and personality to that of a {{Franchise/Barbie}} doll, then shows a skit of Ariel, Snow White, and other Disney princesses planning to kill her.
28	** The Critic calls ''Series/NewGirl'' '[[http://25.media.tumblr.com/201d59b3fdb0e44495128efa206a5004/tumblr_mtaxas3kFs1rsav44o1_1280.png Filler After The Mindy Project]]'.
29	* SweetnessAversion: The Critic's in-universe opinion of the movie is that it's trying too hard to be cutesy and "whimsical" [[spoiler:until Leslie's death.]]
30	-->'''Critic''': Stop it! You're making ''Series/FullHouse'' look like a Holocaust drama!
