Elementary On All Levels

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2005)

Rarely is Hollywood elitism so effective in its manipulation of the dull-normal movie going audience. I expect it from obtuse moviegoers but for the critics to unabashedly praise this patronizing, often childish approach to racism is profoundly disappointing. Sadly, racism is an incredibly complex behavior in today's society - and deserves far more than this stupid movie delivers. This movie is bad on all levels. From the simplistic plot, to the never-ending coincidences, this has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. If you want to be spoken down to by elitists in Hollywood, go see "Crash". If you want to delve into the darkness of racism, rent "American History X".
