To sea or not to sea.

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2001)

Reasons to see "Pear Harbor": 1) The 40-minute attack episode 2) The fun of spotting scenes lifted from other films: a) "From Here to Eternity"; b) "The English Patient"; c) "Casablanca"; d) a Fellini film that features a big ocean liner. 3) The thrill of video games 4) The hula-girl lamps
Reasons not to see "Pearl Harbor": 1) It's pretty awful 2) Doesn't show much of Hawai'i or Hawai'ians 3) Jingoism
