If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
