Automatic `oos' and `ahs' are not deserved

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2001)

This was a lazy movie and overly-long for the sake of keeping Hanks' Oscar streak alive (which thankfully did not happen it). To submit it in time they skipped editing, and it shows. It is really sad when movies portray the simple act of not being a bigot as heroic. I guess for the period perhaps that was true, but it just adds to the lazy stereotypes in the movie. Percy is particularly laughable, over-reaching to be the arch-villain of the movie. Sad filmmaking lauded due to the cash, director, and its ambitions, but it is undeserving.
