Randy Quaid was nice too.
But that movie was full of PC stereotyping and usual Hollywood fare....some righty pundits actually commented on this aspect. Cataclysm movies do that a lot.
It was a Bruckheimer blockbuster was it not?
some of his movies are pretty non insulting and lecturing but big
I just never liked Smith, I find his wife very manly and this notion that he is a modern black Jimmy Stewart in a solid marriage is a joke. He is a nutty left wing Scientologist in an open marriage.
His character was the best in the movie. He was the hardworking, hard drinking Viet Nam vet that had been to hell and back. He stuck by his convictions in spite of all the harassment and everybody who thought of him as a kook. In the end, it turned out he was right all along, and he still ends up sacrificing everything for his kid's future.
Now that I'm thinking about it...his character was kind of a proto-tea partier!
