typical Hollywood PC movie

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2007)

Typical politically correct Hollywood drivel with the usual cardboard cut out good guys/bad guys. Nothing original here, just good art work. Otherwise, morally and intellectually, boringly predictable.
Guns and gun owners bad - peace and peaceniks good! Soldiers bad and artsy types good!! My god, shocking! Unpredictable! Who would think a Hollywood movie would have a message like that!! And such original, unexpected characters!! wow!
Another common observation is this is not really a children's movie, at least not younger than 10. Some of the scenes are too intense for younger children.
The cinematography is very good. The pan scene of New England in the fall is worth the price of the movie, as are the opening scenes. Some good voice over work as well.
So, predictable Hollywood drivel executed with Hollywood's usual artistic professionalism and excellence. If you love the drivel you'll like the movie.
