Doug Pray’s documentary Art & Copy explores advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, when artists and writers gave the world such gifts as "Just Do It" and "Where's the Beef?" Time Out's Keith Uhlich says Pray "barely probes the troubling depths of these cultural signifiers and the people who created them. His film is less an illuminating examination than it is an act of myopic rehabilitation. It doesn’t matter how much garrulous delusion the subjects spout. Pray buys it wholesale and propagates the myth that there’s something to respect about getting inside people’s heads and rewiring them into mass-consumptive lemmings."
