What a bomb!

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2000)

Saw this about 20 years ago and saw it again. What a bomb it was then, and again now! Impressive array of actors fail to lift a silly parody of the Japanese attacking Los Angeles after their success at Pearl harbour. A case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. Would have been better if Spielberg had concentrated on a tighter plot and fewer characters. Fragments of funny moments spoiled by the foolishness of the acting. It just wasn't funny at all.
