Title: A Bad Love Story... and, oh yeah, that Japanese Attack Thing
Review: The monumental historical tale of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to and following that act are virtually overlooked in this travesty of a film. What is arguably the turning point of the 20th century is used only as a backdrop for a cheesy, formulaic love story. The acting is poor, the script is poorer, and the director wants us to forgive these because of the great visuals. Sorry, Jimmy, but making Hawaii look good isn't exactly a feat of magic.Oh, and for all of the liberal left out there, Cuba Gooding Jr. is tossed in for a multicultural, look-at-the-black-man moment. His part is entirely unnecessary except to cater to the whiny crowd who'd otherwise complain about the casting.Avoid this movie like the plague. Buy Tora! Tora! Tora! and see what a real tribute to American heroes looks like.
