Not fun, not funny, not good!

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2003)

SPOILER WARNING
Could this movie be more formulaiec? The "characters" ( I use the word loosely) were all so stereotyped, the movie frequently went into parody. Bruce Willis was trying too hard while Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler weren't trying at all. The inclusion of the usually reliable Steve Buscemi was also upsetting, as I'm still wondering what he is doing in a piece of trash like this.
The script is cliched, the acting poor and the pacing of the film is all wrong. A disaster movie should slowly build up to some kind of climax- but as this movie is loud and fast all the way through the ending is a bit of a damp squib as it has no where to go. Anyway, even if treated correctly the ending would be poo anyway- they saved the world with extra Americana. I'm thrilled.
The emotional sub-plot was obviously tacked on and feels like something out of a second-rate TV movie. Oh, and the movie is painfully unfunny.
I only rant to save others from the pain I experienced when watching this movie. AVOID.
