Thanks. I left off an explanation originally (as I could not think of anything else that the review could mean), but given the prompt I thought I might as well drop one in. 
The problem was reading it too quickly. I read 'Cube become squares' which I couldn't make sense of in 5 seconds, so moved on. Sometimes I take a leisurely stroll through FYCTH, including checking out the movies I don't know on IMdB. Other times I whizz through and surely miss out on some gems. |

Kinda a spoiler there for The Prestige...
True spoiler below:
Well replicated means copied and I doubt anyone who hasn't seen the film would take it to mean anything deeper. I don't consider this to be a spoiler since even as one watches the film, it doesn't give anything away since one magician does copy another's trick. |

Yep, so long as the viewer conveniently happens to go along with that and does not consequently think at all about what the spoiler might mean, then it's not a spoiler.  |

I concede that a very perceptive viewer might be able to be figure it out based on that review but such a viewer would likely figure it out anyway. It's not a spoiler like "Col. Mustard, kitchen candlestick"  |

It's just that with films like that where one expects there to be twists, it doesn't take much to tip the balance into making them guessable. |

Four oldies. One newbie.
Little if any explanation required. Perhaps I should note that when "Fever Pitch" was Americanized, the writers intentionally picked the Boston Red Sox because they hadn't won a World Series in over 80 years and weren't expected to break that streak.
Have pm'd you about this - but you prob'ly want to move this post to the current FYC thread
