Title: Yes, it really was that bad
Product review: The General's Daughter was just as bad as everyone said it was, but Michele has a thing for Madeline Stowe and I have a thing for Jimmy Woods, so we rented it. Ugh. I've developed a theory-- it takes a great screenwriter to get a good movie out of a mediocre novel (for example, the chap who did the screenwriting for Hitch, who transformed many a bad book into an excellent film). And GD didn't have a great screenwriter, or even a good one. Travolta, however, does a spot-on Georgia accent. Oh, yeah-- and a shoo-in for most annoying soundtrack of the year and most annoying song of the year ("Sea Lion Woman," which should be stewed in a fire kindled from its own sheet music).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
