worst movie i've seen all year

Rating: 3/10 (12 February 2006)

I had heard great things about this movie and had fairly high hopes, as I liked Million Dollar Baby. I was severely disappointed. Several times I found myself screaming for it to be over, so that I would not have to endure another cliché, melodramatic, overly-sentimental plot contrivance. What a preachy, transparently didactic and (yes, indeed) pedantic waste of time. This movie was like Magnolia, but done really, really unskillfully. I liked some of the cinematography and music, but other than that it was unbearable. Did I mention it was a rip off of Magnolia, but bad? I give props to the poster who referenced Do The Right Thing.
