* [[http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_movies_blog/2010/08/movie-review-vampires-suck.html This review]] of ''VampiresSuck'' mentions that the title is "too apt".

* [[SonicTheHedgehog2006 Yes, but that alone is insufficient.]]

* "Those of us who watch...are WE ''TheCondemned''?" More than one review answered "Yes".

-->''"This sucks on so many levels." -- Dialogue from Jason X. Rare for a movie to so frankly describe itself.''

* RogerEbert, as seen in the above quote, and also from his LadyInTheWater [[http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060720/REVIEWS/60720002 review]]: "the priggish Mr. Farber criticizes a movie in the movie (and, implicitly, the one we're watching as well) for its endlessly belabored exposition, a lazy reliance on flat clichés, and for forcing characters to go around spewing their innermost thoughts in pedestrian dialog, that doesn't pardon "Lady in the Water" for blatantly committing every one of these amateurish blunders". The review is an fascinating read as Ebert spends much of its length on identifying himself with his in-movie colleague Mr. Farber.
** And from [[Film/TheLastAirbender another Shyamalan film]] [[http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100630/REVIEWS/100639999 review]]: "I close with the hope that the title proves prophetic."

-->'''Foy''': Just how bad is LAKE DEAD? There's a scene about an hour in when one of the girls in the movie freaks out over their situation and starts yelling, "This is so bad! This is awful!" Sitting in the theater I felt like that scene in THETERMINATOR when the building super knocks on the door to ask The Terminator if everything is okay in there and multiple response choices began scrolling across the machine's field of sight. In this case, my options were: "No kidding!","You're telling me?","Ain't that the truth!","Tell me something I don't know!","Preach on, sister!","Oh, so it's a self-reviewing movie?" The one the Terminator selected, "Fuck you, asshole!" might have fit here as well, if only out of sheer spite.

-->Co-Host 3000: "I will give the movie credit though: You are given a fair warning at the very beginning, where you see one of the fucking err... fugly Olsen twin-"
-->Leon: "Olsen twin?"
-->Co-Host 3000: "-addresses the screen and addresses the audiences by tell[ing] them 'Get ready to embrace the suck'"
-->*Spill crew's laughter*
-->Co-Host 3000: "Wow, you really embrace it."
-->Leon: "That-that is ballsy for a movie to ''look'' you in the eyes and tell you 'Embrace the suck'"
-->Korey: "By the way, none of us embrace this, okay? It was forced upon us."
-->Cyrus: "However, we acknowledge that it did in fact, suck."

* The ''DoctorWho Discontinuity Guide'' has a bit of fun when characters say things like "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E2TheCurseOfPeladon There is no plot!]]", "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E2ThePiratePlanet We must act!]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks I can't stand the confusion in my mind!]]"

* The TimeMagazine [[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1083942,00.html review]] of ''HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' noted the book's parallels to the series' [[HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets second installment]] and quotes the character Hagrid saying "Chamber o' Secrets all over again, isn't it?"

This is sort of an inversion of QuotesFitForATrailer, when the work's creators or publicizers use a work's own lines to ''promote'' it. Of course, reviewers can do this trope "positively" and creators can do that one "negatively", but such instances are rare (especially the latter).
