Review title: Direction, Costner's Accent the Real Disastah
Product review: Maybe I just can't stand Kevin Costner. But the favorable reviews for this movie really surprised me. The only emotion I felt through the film was embarrasment -- for Costner and his on-camera wife's attempt at Boston accents. The story is pretty good, but the mushroom cloud scenes and random black & white sequences seemed amateurish and out of place. The direction pales in comparison to "Traffic," which uses similar techniques with actual purpose and effect. Also, the Costner-family storyline was about as hackneyed as it comes... if you've seen either of the two recent meteor movies you know what I'm talking about. One star for teaching history (even if it's not 100% accurate)... and hey, the JFK lookalike was fun.
