Jesus, Dorfman -- Chick flicks do not get A's unless said chicks are stitchless and energetic. You're a brother, now. Buck Up!!

That movie is a three-hour drag.  It's like rye whiskey (which people were once willing to kill or die for, but today won't touch with a long pole) and prostitutes (disdained while on active duty, but treated with respect after retire and hit about 70) -- it once looked good against the then-current competition, but today people are mainly just honoring its age and being too nice to focus on how it has failed to hold up.
