Many "exclusive" celebrity interviews are revealed to be "canned" junkets where the interviewer and the star are never actually in the same room. This lack of honesty in entertainment journalism is attributed to the consolidated ownership of networks and film studios.

The new rating system—"See it, Rent it, or Skip it"—is criticized as a branding failure that lacks the cultural impact of the original. The "Rent it" category is particularly viewed as a "sellout" designed to provide positive quotes for future DVD releases.
