How this was nominated for 7 Academy Awards I will never know

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2002)

God, I hated this film. It was dull, dull, dull! It should be #73 in the BOTTOM 100, not the Top 250. The fact that this won Best Screenplay at the 1996 Academy Awards makes me want to vomit! I know elementary school kids who could write a better plot. And let me tell you something. My parents hated the film. My aunts and uncles hated the film. My friends hated the film. So how the heck does this receive such a high rating?
