Did nobody else notice that this film is crap?


Interesting enough story, but painfully cheesey. Horrible little speeches about falling in love with america, plucky endearing villagers and their hilarious japes with a rocket launcher (war has never been so much fun) and the chess scene made me want to wretch.

I like the west wing and I can take the Sorkin cheddar there, but this beggared belief. If it hadn't been for Hoffman I would have bailed.



Dick, this is nuts.

@ OP, i dont think this film is 'crap' , sure it started a little slow and took a while to get going which sorta sucked, but around 40min-ish into the movie it started to pick up.


bottom line...

i give it a 7/10 ;)

I still like James Rocchi's take the best,

and I refuse to rate a film that was tampered with politically. Except to give it a FAIL.

It's dishonest. The script started out well enough until Joanne Herring started intimidating the production by hinting at a lawsuit. Soon after that, Sorkin and everyone else involved at the top lost the courage of their convictions.
