Should have been a silent film

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2004)

This is the worst movie I have ever sat all the way through. Had I not had been playing chaperone/chauffeur for the girls basketball team...I would have walked out of the theater. Gorgeous scenes, neat effects- and the most inane screenplay ever penned. Even a good actor like Ewan Mcgregor can't pull lines like, "This is why I hate flying", out of the cinematic toilet. I found myself thinking "Oh PLEASE don't say...", and the insipid line which had crossed my mind would be the next words spoken. It just was very distressing to know what was coming next, and that it was going to be bad. I think the visuals alone could have told the story. And it sure would have made it more tolerable if everyone could have kept their mouths shut. 1/2 out of 4
