Text: Waking Ned Devine might have been a snooze if Jones hadn't stocked it with a slew of old actors with magically lived-in visages.
Entailment: Waking Ned Devine could have easily been more boring if Jones hadn't used the actors and settings he did.
Contradiction: Waking Ned Devine was even more boring than I'd expected thanks to Jones' choices of actors and sets.
