A contemporary trade press review from Variety, the American entertainment industry publication, assessing the film on its January 2010 release. Its strength is contemporary industry-insider reporting on production scale, box office performance and critical reception written for a film trade audience. Its limit is that it is trade journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship, so it is cited for documented reception and box office detail rather than for interpretation.
