this is crap , but , honestly , what older american audience is going to be able to resist seeing jack lemmon and james garner as bicker- ing ex - presidents ?
especially when their supporting players in- clude dan aykroyd as the current commander in chief , lauren bacall as a former first lady , and john heard as the dan quayle - ish vice president .
yup , you 're talkin ' pre - sold property here and , for warner brothers , the perfect fit into their now - ritual grumpy old men holiday slot .
for the non - discriminating viewer , my fellow americans is fine .
the raw star power alone will have audiences applauding this atrocious political- thriller road - comedy .
( they did in mine , heaven help us . )
for the rest of us , the movie is immediately tiresome .
the tone is terrible and the banter is worse .
forget
wit-- lemmon and garner merely exchange profanities through most of the movie .
( has anyone counted the number of first penis references ? )
sure , some of the bits are absurdly funny , including a men 's room macarena joke , the appearance of an elvis impersonator on a trainload of tarheels , and an all dorothy marching band performing " over the rainbow " at a gay men 's march .
the get there from here , though , you have to submit to one of the most offensively overbearing musical scores of all time .
judas priest , is there a single moment of silence in this film ?
even the dialogue gets drowned out .
what a waste .

aspiring broadway composer robert ( aaron williams ) secretly carries a torch for his best friend , struggling actor marc ( michael shawn lucas ) .
the problem is , marc only has eyes for " perfect 10s , " which the geeky , insecure robert certainly is not .
meanwhile , marc 's spoiled ( hetero ) female roommate , cynthia ( mara hobel ) , spends her days lying about their apartment and harrassing magazine editor tina brown .
writer - director victor mignatti 's " very romantic comedy " ( as the ad campaign states ) is supposed to be ( pardon the pun ) a gay ol' romp , but
it 's hard to have much fun with these annoying , self - absorbed characters and their shallow personal problems : marc and cynthia have sitcom - level domestic " crises " ( such as trying to kill bugs -- how hilarious ) ; robert and marc go to acting class ( how riveting ) ; the zaftig cynthia goes on eating binges
( how original ) .
but more than anything else , the three whine .
constantly .
marc whines about his turbulent romance with an apparent " 10 , " david ( hugh panaro ) ,
the hunky musician from across the way ; robert whines about not being able to find the right guy ; cynthia whines about having to find a job ( horrors ) .
the terrible trio whine their way to a happy ending that is wholly undeserved
. add in overly broad performances and some laughable lipsynching by panaro , and you 're left with one astonishing piece of cinematic damage .

a couple of months ago , when i first downloaded the face / off trailer from the net , my initial reaction was a fourteen carrot gold ' yawn ' . followed swiftly by a press of my computers delete key , not wanting to waste six or seven megabytes of precious space on this piss - poor trailer .
then i started reading the first wave of reviews from the u . s . . . . .
unique .
. .
excellent . . . . must - see .
well , i thought still skeptical
, i suppose i might as well go see it when it gets here . '
here ' , of course , was still three months away .
i 'll admit , when i trotted off to see this film , the only john woo movie i had seen before was the fairly enjoyable but highly forgetable broken arrow .
i 'd heard good things about his previous work with movies like hard boiled , but his films were definitely not on my must - see list .
that , let me tell you , has changed completely .
i knew this fact only five minutes into the film , after the brilliantly shot and acted opening sequence where sean archer loses his son blew me off my feet .
the acting throughout the film is staggeringly good for an action flick .
seriously .
i 've never been a big john travolta fan , but he , like cage , perfectly suited his role in the movie . . . . .
sorry , make that ' roles ' in the movie .
even travolta 's great performance , however , paled in comparison to cage 's character portrayals .
my favourite cage scene was definitely when he was crashed out in compardre dietrich hassler 's hideout .
half drugged out of his mind , he sits there reclining back in a chair talking about his son 's death from castor 's perspective - " does n't it just break your heart .
"
he mutters coldly .
now do n't go thinking from the previous comments about brilliant acting that this is a drama focused movie - it 's not .
that 's what really makes this movie unique .
it 's an action movie with brilliantly portrayed characters . . . . .
not a common mix at all .
suspension of disbelief is paramount in this movie though . . . . .
that 's the only way to overlook the fact that travolta and cage fire around 5671 rounds at each other . . . .
and never hit .
several action scenes are just so well choreographed that they just make wish that you could press ' rewind ' and watch it over again .
the part where archer and troy have a stand off on either side of a double - sided mirror is just plain brilliant .
whilst cage 's and travolta 's performances would be enough alone to sustain most movies , the lesser characters are just as intriguing .
joan allen , who usually sticks to the straight drama movies , plays her part perfectly as archer 's long suffering wife .
i like the fact that her character did n't end up toting a gun at the end of the movie .
. .
it would have wrecked her potrayal .
gina gershon was surprising to say the least as castor troy 's mistreated girlfriend . . . . .
make that * one of * castor troy 's mistreated girlfriends .
other movies would have used her character as just window dressing . . . a sex object , but instead her character is very strong and independent .
dominique swain , who plays archer 's daughter , also does a nice job , though her character is not as explored as much as allen 's or gershon 's .
faults ?
well .
. .
there were some i have to say .
first , the movie 's ending , whilst being very good overall , was a bit too drawn out for it 's own good .
after the two combatants begin duelling again after the final boat crash you ca n't help but think - " geez , are you guys nuclear powered or what ?
"
.
there were certain bits that were n't handled properly , like where archer appears safe and sound on solid ground after jumping off the converted oil platform / prison - more explanation here would have been nice .
overall , this movie was not perfect .
but i thought it was about as close as an action movie has ever came to perfect
.
many critics have claimed that this movie will change the way action movies are made . . . . .
i certainly hope so .
