Spoon feeding at it's Hollywood best

Rating: 3/10 (21 July 2006)

This movie is certainly not much of a challenge for anyone who would rather think than be spoon fed. Such an improbable series of events has not occurred since the last time the circus came to town. Some good acting but not redeemed by the contrived and full of holes script. It's hard to fathom just how this ho-hum movie beat out so many good candidates for Best Picture. This award by the Academy will go down as one of its most misdirected. This movie gathering praise reminds me of why I've just about stopped going to see Hollywood films. They pander far too much for my taste. The oh so obvious message of this film is also way out of date.
