Typical Hollywood Schlock

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2002)

I couldn't even sit through this entire film. It's overly long and extremely sappy. I don't know why Hollywood can't tell a historic tale these days without drowning it in a sugary predictable love story. Is that the only way that people will watch a film these days? Maybe it IS a teeny-bopper's world.
Here's my advice: If you want to see the real story of Pearl Harbor, watch The History Channel. If you want to see a GOOD film about Pearl Harbor, sans the sappiness, rent 'Tora, Tora, Tora'. If you want to see a GOOD soap opera about Pearl Harbor, rent 'Pearl' (1978) with Angie Dickenson and Dennis Weaver.
Leave this one on the shelf.
