Title: Garden of Good and Evil Produces Weeds
Review: Clint Eastwood should have been the last person to direct "Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil". He completely misses the issues of homophobia, racism and ridiculous elitism of the book's true story. The film falls flat and so does Eastwood's attempt at any humor as well. The drag queen, who brought the book to life and gave us some relief from the overall darkness of the book, is almost non-existent. The issues 'she' seriously brought forth in the book about racism and homophobia are never brought to the screen. Some of the quirky characters who also gave the book distinction are omitted too so what we have is a story about southern decadence, charm and most of all a southern city--Savannah, Georgia--that was a character of itself--cut to the quick and edited to the point of boredom. The only thing growing is this graden is weeds.
