Definitely one of the most overrated movies ever

Rating: 3/10 (13 September 2007)

It's been a while since I've seen it, but at least there's a chance now that it will fall out of the top 250.
I even bought the DVD of it because everyone said it is sooooooo great, and I actually hoped that it might be something like a film version of Monkey Island, which might be the best adventure computer game ever made.
I was totally disappointed, it was supposed to be a comedy, but only moderately funny, and I dragged myself through watching it (maybe I fast forwarded it, I'm not sure) and sold the DVD afterwards.
I really don't get what's so great about it? Just an average Disney story, a well known, good looking actor and a huge marketing hype, so that even all the movie critics and the Oscar jury believe that it is a good move doesn't make it good. If it's not entertaining or contains a great, unusual idea, it could at least have contained some serious message, but of course also didn't - so I just don't get it why everyone likes it.
At least I got most of my money back, but I still hope that some day there will be a real movie using the Monkey Island Plot.
What I've learned: Never buy a DVD (at least not for full price) just because everyone says it's great.
