Cast this snoozer dreck away!

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2008)

From the elitist, we-make-each-other-look-fabulous Hank/Zemekis team that filmed the unappealing, lily-white, snoozer dreck 'Forest Gump' comes an equally unworthy lump of coal, two-hour advertisement for FEDEX and Wilson about.... nothing! Zemekis couldn't film a dramatic scene IF his served-on-a-gold-platter H'wood career depended on it. After four years of being cast away, Hanks finally is rescued, but WAIT the film cuts to 'Four Weeks Later.' The dramatic & potentially explosive pay-off possible in ending the four-year isolation of a man on a deserted island isn't even explored. Hanks went along with this?
Pacino or DeNiro or even lily-white Hurt would demand the writer write the scene and that the director explore the dramatic layers evident in being rescued and saved from the very verge of death. UN-BELIEVABLE! Then in the very last scene, set in the middle of no-where Hanks encounters a stunning cowgirl (who gives new meaning to the word 'flirt') just after he's delivered a four-year old package to the stunning country home of the recipient. I could go on, but you get it.... this film is all about lily-white people leading lily-white lives where nary the speck of dramatic realism ever enters the picture.
