One of the worst movies of the year

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2009)

Simply put, this movie was awful. The fact that viewers are expected to believe that the entire world speaks English is hard to overlook. But if you can get past that, you have to be a fan of poor acting, poor casting (who can't recognize Vera Farmiga from "The Departed" with a bad English accent), and poor make-up (the Jewish kid looks like your next-door neighbour, and a predictable story This is one instance in which I strongly disagree with critics. Don't waste your time on this one. I borrowed the DVD from the library so at least I didn't spend any money for it. I expected a touching story about victims of the Holocaust, but "The Pianist" remains the leader in that category.
