It would have been better just "Pearl"

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2001)

The romance plot line was decent; the reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor was decent; but the two just didn't flow together. The movie is basically a two-hour war romance movie with an hour of fighting thrown in. The producers practically used Pearl Harbor simply as an advertising ploy. The plot would have flowed a lot smoother and made a lot more sense if they didn't try to tie Pearl Harbor into it. They should have just changed Evelyn's (the Navy nurse that the two stars are hooked on) to Pearl and dropped the word "Harbor" from the title of the movie.
