Why Do We Have to Turn Every Film into a Romance Film?

Rating: 3/10 (30 August 2010)

Pearl Harbor was a significant event in American history. One interesting enough without the addition of soap opera melodrama stuck in the middle of the film.
I should have turned it off during the very cheesy champagne scene. Too bad the cork didn't penetrate Affleck's skull and kill him right then and there.
I mean really, did we need the added melodrama of a "torn between two lovers" plot? How trite. "Rafe I really love her". Well duh, you boned her and now she is having your child, I hope that is the case. Wouldn't the attack on Pearl Harbor been enough drama to concentrate on? Too bad too, the CGI effects of the attack were actually quite palatable. Instead we have to endure blubbering females in a Naval hospital in the midst of the attack screaming "oh no what do I do?". What do you think you should do? Maybe attempt to save some lives?
Then of course we have the ending where of course Dudley Do Right wins the good looking female after the dopey looking male that knocked up the good looking female dies in a Chinese field. How utterly convenient.
Thankfully I didn't pay to see this rubbish in the theaters.
