Pine directs and stars in this misguided ‘Chinatown’ spoof with Annette Bening, Danny DeVito and Jennifer Jason Leigh in thankless supporting roles.

Never heard anything bad about Pine. Are you thinking about Chris Pratt, perhaps? Because he has certainly gotten some heat for his alleged affiliations with far-right religious/political groups (because those are the same things now, apparently).

Ah I see. I like Pratt, personally, but he’s certainly not pro-Current Thing so I can see why many people might hate him.

Hmm. If Chris Pine did something wrong, I wonder if this is a fair review, or if they just don’t like Chris Pine.
