The Oscar Bar Is Lowered Again

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2001)

So so. I gave this film a 5, just because it dealt with something other than blowing something up, high school and aliens. Seems to me that Roberts little secret should've been brought to light a little more. The acting was good, Blanchetts performance okay. (I'm still waiting for one of these new actresses to outact Liz Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf! That's pretty much the standard for me.) Rush turns in another great performance, this time by underacting. Fiennes...well, he's who he is. A brother to a great actor.

But, I now know why England is not the power the United States is today, we don't put little teenage girls in anything but school. Running a country??
