A couple of months back several reviews for "A fatal glass of beer" were deleted because, apparently, no-one dies. Never having let accuracy get in the way of a good review, mine was one of them, so I remember. 
Witty Dhannah has come up with a review which, perhaps, has the same problem:

Anyhow, I'm off to have a look at Moby Dick...

Here are two for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets which seem like they are more suited to the first Harry movie.
"Sudden death chess match." by bife.
and
"Whiz kid rescues pebble." by Rooster.
Those seem like plot details from the Sorcerer's Stone, or whatever you guys call it in England.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a better thread than this, but meh.
DavidMcO has a review here that is 5 words: 'downunder' doesn't exist, sorry. Even to us Aussies (note that? No O or Z at all in that...!) write it with two words...

While working on BaftaBabe's newest accolade, I noticed Tori's review for Caberet which is "The Original 'Chicago'". Well, no offence my dear, but... what does Caberet have to do with Chicago?
(Or am I missing something here?)

It has about as much to do with Chicago as it has to do with Munich.
And it's CABARET. No offence my dear... Remember, with a cabaret there's always a BAR.  |

| Sludge's review of "The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off" (Exfoliant product recall probable.) is way off the mark. The boy had a genetic abnormality that caused his condition. No exfoliants were involved. |

I can't be sure you've missed it, but Tori must be referring to the musical film, Chicago, rather than the city. I think the message of her review is that it's been done before, perhaps better. |

Yes, but... The musical 'Chicago' is based on a real woman, Roxie Hart and her murder of her boyfriend, in the city of Chicago during the gangster era. 'Caberet' is based on "I Am a Camera" and takes place in Nazi era Germany. I don't see the connection between the two. Except for the fact that they're both musicals, they're nothing alike at all. |

| In which case I'll bow out gracefully (or with as much grace as I can muster at short notice) and leave Tori to explain... |

Yeah, after looking into this a bit I'm going to pull the review after putting an adjusted one in the hamper (I don't think it's fair to change more than one word and resubmit the same one with all those votes on it). |

| Pow! has a review for The Taking of Pelham One Two Three which reads 'Shaw's unforgettable Mr. Black,' forgetting that Shaw's character is named Mr. Blue. |

A lot of the reviews of Marie-Antoinette mention cake.
I don't think anyone's seen the film yet, but as Marie-Antoinette never actually said anything about the peasants eating cake - so unless the film claims she did say it, which is very unlikely - then all these reviews are wrong.

What? We're not allowed to buy into the myth (or old French Urban Legend, if you wish)?
Oh, piffle!

IMNSHO no, Madame Chocolat, not unless the film does, but I can't see Sophie going down that route. And she never said cake anyway - the bioche was lost in translation, so to speak...
Now it all hangs on the wisdom of Benj...

Okay, I've disowned my review which I thought was so clever (No bread? Dunst: Cake!). I've now submitted something else instead - and this one's a low-cal review.
