I'm sure it has been chewed, so a few notes.
  1. Anne Heche sucks. She is really quite awful.
  2. Hoffman was very, very good, as was Woody Harrelson's criminal and demented soldier.
  3. Blessedly short, the film is the har har har of the Hollywood set as it takes the easy approach: we are all dumb yokels, easily manipulable by the media and politicians. This, from folks who hire issue advisers so they can testify on apples attacked by Alar or fur-lined mittens. Still, arrogance aside, some good yucks.
99999 out of ten 9s, sayeth the Niner.
