The best thing about this film was the two bags of popcorn

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

My wife and I just got back from seeing "The Day After Tommorrow" and although we were entertained, as we walked out, I thought to myself, that the popcorn was the best thing about the film.
The popcorn was hot and crunchy, just the way we like it, and since the movie theatre offers free refills, and since there were about 25 minutes of previews, including two for the latest Vin Diesel flick, we finished the first bag before the movie started and had to go get another bag.
I must admit that the special effects were very good, although I guess snow isn't really that hard of a special effect.
Jake Gyllenhaal was his usual character, although just a bit smarter this time.
Dennis Quaid was about the same, at some points I thought I was watching a Disney movie.
My wife commented that the homeless guy with the dog actually stole the show.
My favorite line was "I am the president of the electronics club, the math club and the chess club, so if you can find a bigger nerd than me in here let me know."
I had read that this film was kinda a shot at the republicans etc, and although I am a liberal, yes I'm not afraid of that word, I didn't think it was overtly anti-conservative, although the vice president did look a bit like Dick Cheney.
My final thought as I emerged from the theatre into the 100 degree Texas heat was, man its good to live in Texas!
My rating: 6/10
