Title: Some good laughs and a lot of eye rolling
Review: The actual recreation of the bombing of Peal Harbor, as breathtaking and technologically marvelous as it was, was not enough to save this dopey movie. Horrible writing, a cliche-ridden plot and some phone-it-in performances gave many scenes an almost comical flare. More than once during the first thrity minutes did I have to elbow my wife to stop laughing or making cracks at the WB/UPN teen drama-like dialogue.It's not the concept of the love triangle as the movie's secondary plot that's the problem. It's that it's a horribly done love triangle. They went full tilt for a Titanic-type love story and failed miserably. Instead of pulling at the heart strings, the movie only manages to by sappy - and at times, very funny.Great special effects. Bad movie.
