Crashed and burned.

Rating: 1/10 (15 April 2006)

How the hell did this win any Oscars? Smacks of political correctness to me. A film that thinks it's far more important than it is. Preposterous plot, every clichéd ethnic stereotype thrown together making an awful mix, horrible and obvious "redemptive" ending. Hammers home its point with a particularly large and unwieldy mallet. Completely unlikable characters. Steer well clear of this pile-up. Am loathe to even discuss the plot but IMDb are forcing me to take up more space for my comments - would rather someone slapped me repeatedly with a wet fish. OK - will try and think of one plus point...Thandie Newton. It's the best I can do.
