Strikingly Mediocre

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

Well, this is one of those movies like Titanic that is really well
made, but sappy and oscar-driven. Sure, it's a well made film, no
doubt. But the stupid and overly sappy music, the textbook
dialogue, the highschool play delivery from every character that
isn't black (minus Morgan Freeman), this is just an average dud. If
you find this emotional or moving, I feel really sorry for you.
