dreadful

Rating: 2/10 (25 December 2000)

I remember leaving the theatre feeling badly for Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise (not that either of them particularly need my pity). My girlfriend surprised me by saying she liked it. Then over the ensuing months I was continually shocked by positive comments, great box office and ultimately Oscar Consideration for this film.
This movie is simplistic, vapid, humourless and at times offensive. I wouldn't think it possible to make a movie with significant amounts of Football in it, this bad.
At least "Almost Famous" flopped.
