I heard this phrase on The Michael Medved radio show as an alternative to "a work of art" and I thought it was a wonderfully appropriate turn of phrase. While I find it snobby and unkind to refuse to use the word "art" because you don't respect a particular effort, "a work of entertainment" covers a multitude of sins and still accuratey describes the effort and intent behind a lot of films.
I'm still not a fan of Medved or his politics, but this is a phrase worth coining.
