You have got to be kidding

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2003)

You have got to be kidding 8 Golden Globe nominations? I thought for nearly 50% of the movie it was wandering around. I agree with the reviewers the movie has strong performances only by supporting cast not anywhere else. In some ways a freind commented that it was "The Talented Mr. Ripley does the Civil War." Just boring and never goes anywhere. Sorry, the Miramax folks will probably promote the thing for awards but those who vote know nothing about movies. A totally lost effort and by the way definately not represantative of any historical facts of the Civil War. Deserving of most of the review it is receiving from knowing reviewers.
