    Jeet Heer Retweeted Sam Rosenfeld

    This is an amazing review. Among other things, it says that the "extraordinary feast" of Puzo's novel has been sucked dry by the movie. That is not, to put it mildly, true.https://twitter.com/sam_rosenfeld/status/1525209654682439680 …

        Jeet Heer Retweeted Sam Rosenfeld

        Right-wing film criticism -- Michael Medved, Richard Greiner, John Podhoretz, even John Simon -- is a pretty dire genre (I'll make an exception for Douthat and White). But Buckley really takes the cake. This is the worst review ever writtenhttps://twitter.com/sam_rosenfeld/status/1525209654682439680 …

        Seems like William F. Buckley may not have been right about some things.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Yeah I refrained from noting that just because I've never actually read the book. But certainly the *received wisdom* is that the book is fun pulp while the movie enriched the material immeasurably.

        Replying to @sam_rosenfeld

        I would go further than the conventional wisdom and say large parts of the book are unreadible. I mean there is a section on how big Sonny Corleone's penis is and the vagina expanding surgery his wife needs.

        He’s as right on The Godfather as National Review’s defense of segregation.

        It doesn’t have as much about Sonny’s size certainly

        Honestly without the vaginal rejuvenation subplot, why did they bother?

        he's probably mad the movie doesn't spend as much time talking about vaginoplasty
