 Newsweek revealed in June 2001 that print ads for at least four  movies released by Columbia Pictures, including this film and  _Animal, The (2001)_ (qv), contained glowing comments from a film  reviewer who did not actually exist. The fake critic, "David  Manning," was created by a Columbia employee who worked in the  advertising department. "Manning" was misrepresented as a reviewer  for a newspaper in a small Connecticut town.
