Good and Bad

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2003)

The middle of this movie was great. I don't think that's enough to win best picture. I don't think that flawed movies should win when there are films like lost in translation, 21 grams, and the secret lives of dentists out there. the acting in the entire beginning was horrid, from the kids to the adults. it reminded me of dreamcatcher's bad acting children. But then just when the movie was great the ending comes along...and laura linney says the dumbest lines, and I start to hate the movie, it was going so well...there was no need for her stupid speech to her husband. it should have ended with kevin bacon and sean penn sitting on the sidewalk.
