This movie got an 83 on Metacritic. Apparently, all the reviewers saw it at the same showing and had been drugged in the pre-screening party. Or bribed. Something. If I ever run into one of them .... Well, never mind. Don't spend 90 minutes of your life on this. This is the kind of movie that makes you wonder about the process of screenplays becoming movies. You would think that anything that involves a substantial economic risk would have to be okay'd by a lot of people who have some experience in the entertainment field and would know a stinker when they saw one. Maybe not. Anyway, don't make it your problem. Move on, nothing to see here. You're welcome.

Someone who dislikes Vietnam veterans got to make a movie that screams disrespect. Let's hope that this is the last feature that Mommy's money can pay for and a career is cut short. The mystery is, what did the producers have on Eckhart and Meyers to get them into this movie? I could almost understand Eckhart but Meyers is still in mid-career and has some serious credits. My guess is that both men have done something they'd like not to become public and got extorted into joining the cast. (I keep thinking of Meyers, walking around this set saying to himself, "I did a movie with Tom Cruise. How could this happen?" Now, you can watch this movie or you could spend an hour or two cleaning your toenails and clipping those nose hairs that people are starting to notice. And with the right choice, you retain your self-respect.
