I don't pretend to have seen every American film this year, but I can testify that this glib atrocity is crasser than Showgirls (though not so salacious), drippier than The Bridges of Madison County (though not as sincere), smugger in its political correctness than Pocahontas (though lacking cute, furry animals), more inept in its storytelling than Batman Forever (but without Batman's excuse of having no real story to tell).
