Emphasizes the 'steamy' nature of the adaptation twice in the opening, framing the film's appeal through its sexual content rather than artistic merit or star power. Uses loaded language ('paltry 63 percent,' 'whopping $82 million') that editorializes what should be neutral financial reporting. However, presents complete factual information.
