Jack Reid: [on the phone] Tell the Mayor, I'm insulted. I would never jeopardize the journalistic integrity of this newspaper for some rent-a-mayor's political agenda.
Jack Reid: [to his son] So Britt, here we are again. Sent home after another schoolyard fight. I know you miss your mother. So do I. But I have to take care of 750 employees, and you have to take care of yourself. Still that seems to be asking too much.
Young Britt: But I was trying to stop some bullies...

Quite probably the most expensive bad movie I have ever seen, TGH refashions the classic tale of The Lone Ranger's relative (newspaper mogul Britt Reid-turned-crime fighter) into a goofy, slacker comedy overflowing with car crashes and impossible to follow action sequences heavy on the CGI. One top of all this, we get a pudgy, out of shape Green Hornet in Seth Rogen! What could the filmmakers have been thinking casting this unappealing jerk in the lead? And why turn this legendary story into a slacker comedy? Jay Chou is a pale imitation of Bruce Lee's TV Kato, and Cameron Diaz is wasted as Reid's new secretary. She's simply window dressing, and frankly too old for the role. What a godawful mess. And a $100 million mess at that. This movie is wrongheaded in every possible way. Stay far away. Watch the old TV show instead.
