This wasn't one of the worst critiques on The Secret that I've seen. She lists her sources and mentions many things that are stated that can easily be percieved as contradictory (though I have only seen the movie once).

But she does commit some logical fallacies, and some of her arguments could be more thougth out. Also note her frequent appeal to emotion, which epitome is: "Can we really feel comfortable ever saying that people attract fatal accidents, illness, trauma, and death?"

Although she used it too, much of what is written in opposition to The Secret is just simple-minded satire, basically leaning on the controversy of the LoA.

So that's my critique
