Can't find anything wrong with this movie
I've owned NORTH on dvd for about four months and it remains one that I watch and enjoy. And I just can't find really anything bad about it. I think the critics were out of their minds when they panned this movie. Plus many of the online user's reviews are more or less biased. I don't find it offensive nor unfunny. In fact it contains a lot of memorable scenes and great cinematography. It's not Shakespeare of course, but it does remain a nice family film. Elijah Wood and Bruce Willis are very good in NORTH.
I plainly don't understand ANY of Roger Ebert's gripes! He said that the film attempted to be 'manipulative.' What is he talking about??? I've read his review, and re-read it and re-read it. None of his criticisms make any sense to me.
He was just too harsh on the movie. He's a lousy film critic, in my opinion.
Any other fans of NORTH? I'm sure there are.
