This movie is bad

Rating: 2/10 (20 April 2010)

This is a white-friendly, feel good film that will bore you unless you're a football addict. And even then you may wonder why it came up on the Academy Award radar screen at all. Except that Bullock is a big money-maker and it serves the industry to praise her. She hits one note in this film and keeps hitting that note. Again and again she hits that one single note, and when you've had enough she hits it some more. Pretty soon she's SO boring. Ultimately she just wears you down. Help! A goose with a good, strong honk could have played that role. I suppose it's sort of fun to watch rich, privileged white people successfully bulldoze their way to the head of the line while poor non-whites have to wait their turn. Oh yes, and we're clearly supposed to rejoice that Bullock's character patronizes a big needy black person, and is short tempered with her racist Republican luncheon companions.
