That site isn't trashing the movie so much as its politics. It's moaning real loudly about the proposed ADA Notification Act.

If the ADA-NA were passed, the lady who sued Eastwood for the lack of a ramp on his Carmel hotel would instead have to write him a letter and demand he correct the problem, and then allow 90 days for him to fix it before running to court. Sounds fair to me. But, that doesn't sit well with disability groups, who like to file suits so they can get attention and punish ADA violators. Apparently, making their voice heard is more important than actually fixing the problems their members face. They'd rather drag a lawsuit against a star out over a year than have a ramp installed in 90 days.
