The Day After the Critics ...

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2004)

So, whats with the critics? I was working out and listening to cbc (Canada public radio) and this movie was getting wasted. I took my son to Shrek 2 and it was sold out so in we went. I loved it. Yes it has flaws as they all do; who would have thunk a crack in the antarctic ice field would split a few tents right in half. But the scenes were amazing. There were even a few human relationship moments - the critics said there were none. I loved it when Mexico closed the border to Americans and the Dick Cheney look-alike had to eat his words over global warming. Hollywood is getting their kick at the right wing arrogance that is in power currently in the US. The president was much more reasonable and looked like Al Gore. One thing that Hollywood does that drives me crazy is the main protagonist couple always has to be good looking and professional. Can't there ever be any Mr. and Mrs. Average protagonists? For artists, these writers so lack imagination.
Anyway, its well done and well worth going to see. Trrrrust me.....
