Re: "Flames" of Endearment.

I haven't seen this one yet, but it's interesting that some people are
coming away feeling like it was hyped out of proportion.  The last movie
I went to was rated four stars the S.F. Chron reviewer, but he was giving
out those stars left and right anyway.  Can't help wondering how bad those
really *bad* movies must be?  Maybe I'll go see "A Night in Heaven", just
to get re-oriented.

Has anyone else noted this kind of "grade inflation" on the part of
reviewers?
