Highly Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2005)

I saw this movie because several friends recommended it, and I must say that it wasn't as good as I thought it would be for several reasons: 1. There was very little character development, too many small roles existed. 2. It was a bunch of cheap thrills. Too many moments where the viewer goes "Oh my!" Too bad the plot wasn't a little bit more developed and we knew the characters better. We might have actually cared then. 3.Sandra Bullock falling down the stairs as a dramatic scene? I laughed my ass off. 4. The view towards races and tipping held by Ludicrous is flawed and applies to more kinds of people than African Americans. As I college student, I generally receive poor service at restaurants because everyone thinks college students have no money. There are definitely more reasons for why this movie was bad that escape me at the moment. It bothers me that people act like they haven't seen a movie about racism before. Maybe we should all go back in time and watch something with Sidney Poitier in it.
