Horrible & Disturbing Lifetime TV Movie by Dr. Jack Kevorkian

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2005)

I am trying to figure what all the fuss is about. Everyone says this is such a great movie to me its just another napoleon dynamite. By that I mean this story could have been told effectively in 15 minutes not 2-3 hrs. I could never watch this movie more than twice because it was so poorly put together. The pacing of the movie is sooooo slooowww,the dialog from every actor except Morgan Freeman sounded unnatural, there was hardly any music to help carry the story, the humor was dry I felt like they were trying to make me laugh but it didn't work, the story is mostly based just in the gym for like the first 2hrs, Maggie (hillary swank) only ventures out to work at the local diner. I would have added more people in her life like maybe a boy friend maybe we should have met her family earlier in the story. I mean to relate to her more when needed to know more about her. To me most effective part of the movie was when you meet her cold hearted family. Though it doesn't take much to spoil this movie there is a twist but it took to long to get there in my opinion. I also felt like I was paying to watch a manipulative film. Something that should be left for network TV.
