Title: I'm not a chick flick fan... not after "Pearl Harbor"...
Review: I think this must've been the strategy behind the making of "Pearl Harbor": some girls wanted to take their boyfriends to a chick-flick-in-disguise. They added a battle scene or two, and voila! "Pearl Harbor" was born. I got to see this movie first as extra credit for a humanities class; the teacher shouldn't have bothered, because "Pearl Harbor" had very little to do with actual history. Most of the movie was bogged down in a sappy, overused love triangle, not to mention the improbability of a downed pilot coming back from the dead. Then, at the end, the Doolittle raid convieniently removed one of the men from the scene. Strange how perfectly things worked out for the other guy... Cliched lines and a syrupy plot make this one to avoid for all but diehard fans of the bushy-eyebrowed Hartnett and cleft-chinned Affleck.
