Another over-directed film by Guess Who

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2001)

I was waiting to see a good football movie, but ended up at a college art film instead. The over direction is sometimes cute, definitely advanced but very distractingand it goes on throughout the entire film. Some folks like this, and that's ok, but do you watch a film for the story, acting, production or to be inundated with motion. By the second half, I felt like I needed motion sickness pills.
The acting was excellent in parts, and good in others. The story was pretty good. It was obviously high-budget. Would I see it again? Nah, I'd probably go out and rent "The Longest Yard" instead.
