Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2007)

I really don't know how this movie won an Oscar for best picture. Both "Capote" and "Brokeback Mountain" were far far superior to this film. I even thought "Matchpoint" was better and that wasn't even nominated. I felt like I was watching an after-school special, not an Oscar winning Hollywood movie. I was very disappointed with this movie. I thought the characters were thin and unrealistic. I thought the message was ridiculous, if there really was a message. Every white racist I know liked this film because they can relate to the Matt Dillon character. By the way, Matt Dillon isn't an actor, he just plays Matt Dillon in every movie he is in. You would think that someone that has been around as long as he has would eventually improve their acting skills. I think he is just getting worse and worse. I also don't like Sandra Bullock, she is another terrible actress, too bad very talented actors such as Don Cheadle gets wasted in such a terrible movie.
