with the possible exception of "Schindlers List", but even if Julie Andrews had floated down umbrella in fist at the gates of Auschwitz in that one I'm not entirely sure I would've been surprised...
A positive mine of formulaic sentimentalist clap trap IMHO
Strikes the same chord with me as most Spielberg films, light on substance, heavy on sentimentality and syrup
Yuck!
The only film I like Julie Andrews in is the original "Bedazzled" wiht Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, and then it's only her NAME...
