A
movie critic; one who is paid off from a major movie studio to give a fake positive fluff review. Sometimes the said "
critic" doesn't even exist at all, and is just a fake name with a fake quote. Studios use this tactic as
damage control for a potential flop.
"The 3% of critics who gave positive reviews for
Battlefield Earth on
Rotten Tomatoes definitely had to be plants from
Warner Bros. studios. No one could ever voluntarily praise that movie without being bribed. "
