Sugar with Saccharine Sprinkles

Rating: 1/10 (15 March 2008)

This is perhaps the most sickenly trite movie I have ever seen. It is entirely predictable. It is so sugary with ersatz emotion you need to shower afterward. It is beyond awful. The soaring violins accompanying trivial accomplishments ring false. There is not an original line in it. It deadly dull. The script could have been composed by a computer chopping up every sports movie ever made and mushing bits together at random. If movies were term papers, this one would the kind composed the night before it was due. I don't know what possessed an actor the calibre of Keanu Reeves to get involved. Perhaps they blackmailed him. Even the score was done on the cheap with a barely adequate rap group.
