To give their new movies a boost, some marketroid at Sony Pictures made up an imaginary film critic. "David Manning", whose reviews lavished praise on Sony's upcoming films and were quoted in press releases, doesn't actually exist, and never has. Mind you, they probably didn't need to go that far, as there are enough whorish critics willing to laud turkeys in small papers in return for getting the red-carpet treatment.
