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.

I thought the ENTIRE film provided a decent combination of insight and entertainment the make the movie watchable more than once. some people don't like chocolate either.

No really, objectively. What are the real flaws with this film? I'd like to know. Because a film this compelling and with these high-quality performances doesn't come along very often.
