خلاصه داستان : M.J. Clayton مشهور Art Critic در شیکاگو است. وی در سراسر کشور به خاطر نقدهای بی روح و عصبانیت شناخته شده است و غالباً توسط ناشر او مورد هتک حرمت قرار می گیرد. او پس از بررسی های ویژه با روحیه متوسط ​​، او تعطیلات را به کلبه کوچک خود در جزیره مکیناک می برد....

You know that one art critic you love to hate? The critic whose sole mission in life seems to be savaging the dreams of artists, curators and gallery owners everywhere? The critic who has learned, by heart, every possible snarky synonym for "bad" but couldn't spit out the word "good" even as flames licked at his stake-bound feet? The critic who we suspect hasn't enjoyed a 'romantic interlude' since 1992 and would, given the the opportunity, unapologetically slam his own mother's work hanging at the local district library? Yes. "Mr. Art Critic" is that heinous guy.
