* [https://web.archive.org/web/20121111051452/http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_movies_blog/2010/08/movie-review-vampires-suck.html This review] of ''[[Vampires Suck]]'' mentions that the title is "too apt".
** The review in ''SFX'' starts off saying it's almost too obvious to say that "''Vampires Suck'' ... does", but it's also entirely accurate.
** Peter Travers' wrote a zero-star, four-word review: "This film sucks more."
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* [[That Guy With The Glasses|Doug Walker's]] ''Five Second Movies'' do something similar, such as summarising ''[[The Matrix]]'' with Neo's "Woah."
** Much fun was had by the [[That Guy With The Glasses]] [[Hatedom]] with [[Phelous]]'s line "This is gonna suck" in the ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' trailer.
* If we consider ''[[The Wizard (film)]]'' as an ad for Nintendo products, [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]'s review of the Power Glove counts.

* The [[Time Magazine]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825204954/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1083942,00.html review] of ''[[Harry Potter and

Line 42 ⟶ 43:
** [[Cop Out]] review: "I mean, just think about-Okay, the name of this movie is 'Cop Out', and this... that name alone has so much more hidden meanings into it than we'll ever know because Holy Jesus! I cannot believe what I suffered through tonight." said Co-Host 3000.
** [[The Cabin in the Woods]] review: "It gave me a cabin in the ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|wood]]''" - guest reviewer Brian Salisbury.

{{quote|'''Foy''': Just how bad is ''Lake Dead''? There's a scene about an hour in when one of the girls in the movie freaks out over their situation and starts yelling, "This is so bad! This is awful!" Sitting in the theater I felt like that scene in ''[[The Terminator]]'' when the building super knocks on the door to ask The Terminator if everything is okay in there and multiple response choices began scrolling across the machine's field of sight. In this case, my options were: "No kidding!","You're telling me?","Ain't that the truth!","Tell me something I don't know!","Preach on, sister!","Oh, so it's a self-reviewing movie?" The one the Terminator selected, "Fuck you, asshole!" might have fit here as well, if only out of sheer spite.}}
* Not exactly an '''''echo''''', but Leonard Maltin's review of the 1948 film ''Isn't It Romantic?'' consisted of one word: '''"NO."'''
