I only gave it '1/10' because zero wasn't an option

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2004)

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst film I have ever had the misfortune to waste an hour and a half of my life watching. In precise : - The script is awful - The whole thing with John Travolta being unable to love his daughter because she doesn't look like a cheerleader (love the desperate attempt to make her look 'alternative') and then her remarkable reappearance as the quintessential American dream at the end frankly made me want to vomit - The fact that they have to stop and explain the already paper thin storyline to the cerebrally challenged viewers every five minutes ("we're going to 'face-off'", replete with hand gestures, springs to mind) - I quite liked Nicholas Cage prior to seeing this film. "Wild at heart" was fantastic. I can only assume that the lure of several millions of dollars per job has caused him to overlook any kind of artistic scruples he ever had. - It's even worse than 'The Rock' - and that's really saying something.
