(1) Whatever the case, the young Englishman's account is pure hokum .(2) This film is head and shoulders above Hollywood hokum based in the same situations.(3) It's surprising, then, how a couple of strangely touching notes toward the close redeem a work that boldly straddles the line between total hokum and the very stimulating.(4) The plot and characterizations have been whittled into the barest of Hollywood hokum .(5) For some of today's filmgoers, it's outdated hokum ; for others, it's one of the all-time greatest love stories on film.(6) These episodes do have messages, but they're buried under so much '60s television action series hokum that they are difficult to find and are rendered almost meaningless.(7) It just adds to the hokum overload in this disappointing novel.(8) Looking at the film now, it works beautifully as pure family entertainment, heavy on the sarcastic wit and full of unadulterated corn, cheese and hokum , especially in the final family group-hug scene.(9) Sadly, he could have done with a meatier storyline to rescue the movie from well-crafted hokum , which is a bit of a shame, given the money, the stress and a year's work.(10) classic B-movie hokum(11) And this ‘mental modeling’ notion is pure hokum .(12) Despite the laborious backstory and mood lighting, the movie is chock full of standard comic book hokum .(13) If hokum like that can find its way into the final film, why not some more over-the-top musical numbers?(14) Say, for the sake of argument, that this is all unsubstantiated holistic hokum .(15) I don't care whether it is all hokum and a big con trick(16) Film review: A brilliantly made piece of sci-fi hokum .
