I agree with what you wrote. This movie was one of the worst I seen! I can understand why Ewan McGregor didn't like being a part of it. Honestly just replacing Hayden Christenson(?) with anybody would have been a huge improvement. Did Lucas not see Hayden's movie were he plays Stephen Glass, GAG!!!!!
OMG, I actually sat thru that piece of tripe this weekend. It was on HBO during a late night feeding. I wanted to stab out my eyes it was so bad. Hayden really does have that whiny crybaby look down though. LOL
