Maudlin

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2000)

I love this country, but not enough to love this film. It was impressively done, and had a few great moments. But overall, the effect was a wee bit insulting. The director was playing to the lowest common denominator of American filmgoers. For this reason I'm sure will make him a box-office success, but alas, not a critical one. It's a shame, too, because he really could have said something about America's incredible heritage.
