Cover Story: Jennifer Love Hewitt

Main Interview: Jennifer Love Hewitt

PRO:

  • LEBOWSKI!

  • They run a letter correcting them on their Dukes of Hazzard coverage. From Andrew Molinaro of CHUD.com message board infamy! Awesome. Hilarious. Slightly akimbo.

  • Their hearts appear to be in the right place.

CON:

  • Napoleon Dynamite toys are worse than the clown in Poltergeist in regards to creepiness and the safety of your loved ones. Why give them ink?

  • They are trying way too hard to be… something.
  • You have Jason Lee around for a five page piece, why do you make it a FASHION SPREAD? Fashion spreads are worse than scabies.

  • Their scar movies article seems a bit familiar.

  • MaggieyawnGrace.

  • Their layout screams "I wish it was 1978". Come on, people!

  • 1.2.3 IPOD centric pieces.

OVERALL:

This mag burst onto the scene. A comer. Now it feels like a comeshot in my eyebrows.
