Let me start by saying this is not a review, per se. I was going to write one, but was very happy to see that I didn't have to. Every one of the 20 or so reviews I read hit the nail on the head, and those nails hopefully are on the coffin of this movie. This movie was bad, left no stones unturned in its pursuit of badness, and never for more than two minutes let us forget that it was bad. That's about how often an overwhelming discontinuity, or trite piece of mockudrama, reared its head. There is nothing good to be said about this movie, because it is a Bad Movie.
Now here's what I want to do. I want a Call to Action. I believe that all or most of the actors, directors, producers, writers of this movie are still alive and well. I want to call a town hall meeting where they are all called to account for this film. Sort of like a Congressional hearing, the likes of which we've been seeing lately with the bankers or the carmakers.
This movie had a budget of $22 million. That's not super big budget, but it's not chump change. In some way, that's our money. That's the money we've spent on all previous films. It's money we've invested in these companies, with the thought that they will produce good movies. This, as I said, is not a good movie. We should demand action, demand that the wrongdoers be identified, and demand that those responsible are punished. There is no excuse for a film like this. Someone was sold a bill of goods, and every step along the way there were "yes men" agreeing to go ahead with it, when there had to have been over 10,000 opportunities for someone to say, "no, this can't go on." And yet no one did it; no one pulled the plug. No one stopped this disaster from occurring. I think we have the right to know what they were thinking.
Anyone who wants to join me in demanding that the participants in this movie come forward, please let me know! Time is of the essence! Another disaster could be on its way!
