It's been a long time since I saw this movie, so I could be wrong, but I don't think the famous kitschy painting referenced in the title appears at all. The crooks steal a statuette, not a painting, and it is they who are the "four dogs" by virtue of their insurance agreement. noncentz, rr1, Fresno, can you correct me?

Sorry to bring this up on a funny pun, but knockmesilly's Crucible review: "Easy Bake Coven" is wrong - witches are not burned at the stake, they are hanged and crushed to death.
Nothing's baked, sorry.

If I'm not mistaken, the pun was borrowed from a Simpsons Halloween episode, anyway.

There may be a cross-cultural anomoly here.

Animal's review refers to crunchy biscuits (I assume) which would be true in the more proper countries such as the UK, where a biscuit is like a hard American cookie.
Biscuits in this instance refers to a bready, bun-like thing that is then smothered in a creamy, peppery sausage gravy, a common breakfast dish in the U.S. south. There's no crunch to it...or am I missing a joke?
There's nothing quite so tasty as a good B&G breakfast. I'll try this at any roadside restaurant but the best I ever had was out a side take-out window of a gas station in Kentucky.

Agreed, I think this is a cultural misinterpretation.
Your biscuits are weird!

Woman VP regrets past. for 'The Contender'. The VP doesn't regret her past because there isn't anything there and if there was, she makes it clear in the whole movie that she will not apologize for having sexual partners.

Weird. Maybe this was a movie-to-be-added that got mistaken for a review?

On wrong reviews, I think maintcoder has two reviews of "The Awful Truth" which actually refer to "My Favourite Wife", both starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, so the mistake is understandable.
So, Grant me my wish and have it un-Dunne immediately!

In this film, insomnia is the effect of the murders, not the cause of it.
PS: Whippersnapper, you're absolutely right about those Awful Truth reviews. What's really weird is that maintcoder has a totally correct review of My Favorite Wife!
