Pretentious and pointless

Rating: 1/10 (7 April 2008)

The Music score was the worst thing about this movie. Music was unrelated to the movie. God awful. Imagine watching a movie while someone was playing their radio at the same time and louder than the dialog. And it was such depressing music. They should have stuck in something a bit more cheerful like the Beach Boys or Elvis. Actually would be interesting to watch this movie with an Enio Morricone score overlay. Don't waste your time or money on this. Pointless dull story as well. Why not just re-make the Grapes of Wrath. As for critics - this movie is a case of jump aboard the high-brow bandwagon. Seriously this flick will depress you and bum you out. Another story that need not have been told. An episode of Falcon Crest or Dallas better written than this.
