Diluted Disney

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2002)

This movie is so watered down that it is just obvious that the true story that it was based upon has been Hollywood-ized to no end.
There are just so many instances throughout the script that stink of being added in order to stay within the Disney Safety Net. Some of them are very subtle - almost subliminal. Others are clear desperate attempts to please all races and age groups.
For the most part, Washington holds up his end of the deal and delivers a respectful performance.
