Half Baked

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2004)

Even the wonderful acting of Hanks, Tucci, McBride and Luna, and superb direction of Spielberg couldn't save this films shallow, contrived, cliche to cliche script. Wow what a failure. And could the ending have been more...useless? And who wrote the ending? This movie failed to portray clearly, confidently, or with any conviction any of the emotions we wish to experience during a dramatic adventure. Love, envy, friendship, greed, desire all half baked into a lukewarm, bland, saccharine sweet pie.

Also you might want to question the validity of the imdb voting considering 110 people gave this movie a 10 (Highly unlikely) and the next closest category only 29 people gave it a 9. It seems that many studio marketing executives need to take a class or two in statistics if they plan on cheating. This is the most blatantly obvious vote loading I have ever seen. Naughty Naughty!
