Pearl Harbor (2001) short review

By on in Twentieth Century

2001 Pearl Harbor

EXCESSIVELY cheesy, soap opera-y, melodramatic, nationalistic, teen-y, etc. etc. look at the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Ben Affleck is painful, Josh Hartnett is cute, and Kate Beckinsale is fabulous.  The upside?  Great 1940s costumes.
