A very rare zero stars! An SCTV Production??? No, IT'S REALLY Hollywood!

Rating: 1/10 (7 May 2006)

Good if you don't have enough intelligence to insult. I don't give 1/10 often- this one was unbearable.
Sadly, it was truly part of the pure Hollywood machine with millions to buy not only the biggest stars for every speaking role, but the Academy as well. A smart investment of course... an investment in the hearts and minds of suburban whites who don't know racism firsthand and flock to this film to "get it".
I don't need "BIG Hollywood star performances", just as I don't need wildly over-dramatic direction and a script so lacking in subtlety that I laughed 1/2 the time, moaned the other 1/2 (box of blanks? please!). This movie felt like it's been made from white corporate types from the outside looking in, concerned more with marketing and the bottom line than with really selling the message.
