As a general rule, I'd say that how one reviews or critiques any bit of media, be it the movie or the review of the movie, is reflective of what prejudices and expectations that person brought into it with them.
The review itself was interesting and entertaining to me because it demonstrates that any time you take single snippets of someone's life and create, in your mind, an entire universe where that is the sole truth of their existence. Case and point, those of us who (at least
think) we know Amber viewed her comment to be more of a one-off about how playing Alliance has expanded on what she enjoys doing in life from solitary pursuits to social ones. The reviewer, OTOH, is presented with the comment as largely his/her only insight into who Amber is and was, and therefore is left to his/her own experiences to fill in the blanks.
(Mind you, you're reading the words of someone who has "
completely written off reality", so take from it what you will.) The people in the movie, as much as they bear a striking resemblance to the people you know and love/hate, are not the real people (and in truth, they can't be). They are a single facet given highlight, and the interpretation is ultimately the responsibility of the audience.
To paraphrase a story by Kevin Smith, if you're digging the Banky character and think he's right-on, and then he turns out to be gay, and you feel conflicted about that, it's probably because you have issues with your own sexuality.
Now, to the more important question... when's the last time you guys took her bowling?
