Good cast; bad script; great disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2005)

It's really astonishing that stars of this caliber would agree to appear in such a low-class film. Reminds me of the days when great stars lost their luster and started doing cheap commercials. When that occurred, you could always figure that they had spent all their money and were desperate. While I don't think that's the case with Hoffman or Streisand, that's what it looked like to me. This was a poorly written story with a bad script, and no matter how many times a joke or two came across, I always felt as though I was watching a great cast performing below my expectations. Apparently, the money was good. I'm very disappointed with Streisand, Hoffman, and Deniro for agreeing to put up with such nonsense.
