It just doesn't live up to the hype.

Rating: 6/10 (10 May 2004)

I had heard nothing but glowing praise for this movie, but I found it to be only slightly entertaining. After reading through some of the other IMDB comments, I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one who thought so.

The exaggerated stories and special effects did little for me. Even the ending was somewhat predictable. A good cast was put together to make the movie, but there wasn't any outstanding acting. I don't think there was enough of a story line or truly memorable characters for anyone to stand out.
I did like much of the soundtrack, which of course contains lots of hit songs from the 50s and 60s, like so many other movies I've seen before.
There's really nothing special about this movie. I gave it a 6 out of 10. I was considering a 7, but it's really not that good.
