The Wonderful World of Disney: The Love Bug (1997)
Bruce Campbell saves this flick
Love Bug 1997 was fun to watch and I laughed at a lot of it, but mostly Bruce Campbell's humor (either written by him or ad lib). I loved the evil bug and wish I owned one. It looked like it was fun to make, and since it's about Herbie, you can't focus too much on things that couldn't really happen (like a car still functioning after being cut in half).
U-571 (2000)
Red October, but more predictable
I was mildly entertained by the movie, but near the end I started rolling my eyes when they rowed into the sunset as the recon. plane flew overhead. I got the suspicion the whole time that they would run into Sean Connery at any moment. I felt like they tried too hard to get us to care about the characters. I did like Matthew McConaughey's performance until the end when the eyerolling started.
Rules of Engagement (2000)
Eye-roller
I thought the plot was thin and the characters trite. I didn't care whether they locked him up or let him go. It was a poor attempt at sentimentality with a completely predictable outcome. I rolled my eyes six times during the last half of the movie.
