Review title: [Poor] excuse for "entertainment"
Product review: For me this film has the exact same appeal as a TV soap opera (where is exactly where it belongs) -- and I despise TV soap operas. Of course, there are lots of TV soaps and they have been airing for decades, so obviously there are a quite a few people who like this sort of "entertainment". If, like me, you are not one of them then you are likely to feel the same way about this film that I did. I found it to be boring, depressing, sometimes disgusting, ..., inane garbage. On the other hand if you like the gut-wrenching-downer sort of movie here's your flick -- enjoy.Natalie Portman was a bright spot and her talent was shining through. However, no 13-year old on the planet would talk the way she did in the film.This is the last time I will ever trust a "two thumbs up" rating from Siskel and Roeper. I give it two thumbs down and will be selling my copy ASAP.
