Those are the three words I would use to describe this film. This movie has a basic "humongous high school party" plot but what was really wrong with it was the way it was put onto screen. The script has several subplots I could care less about and is filled with an unbelievable amount of unfunny, misogynist, mean spirited and crude jokes. In the course of the film, I absolutely loathed Oliver Cooper's character named Costa. He was an absolute disgusting sight on screen, him and his personality. No film character like that has made me disgusted like he has in a very long time. This film was also promoting the use of drugs and alcohol without showing it's lethal side effects. This so called "film" depressed me because of the fact that people actually enjoy it's mean spirited nonsense and went out of their way to pay $12.50 at their local cinemas to see immaturity and harassment put into an 88 minute film. If I could give this poor excuse of a film a 0 out of 10, I would.

This film has done everything well. From the script to the on-screen performances to the film editing. Michael Clarke Duncan portrays the role of his lifetime and one of the best performances of the 90s in this film as the gentle giant John Coffey who is a miracle worker. Other noticeable performances in this film are Tom Hanks as prison guard Paul Edgecomb who witnesses Coffey's miracles and Sam Rockwell as the reckless William "Wild Bill" Wharton who has complete disregard for human life. In films like this, you can really hate the antagonists and sympathize with the protagonists. The score of this film done by Thomas Newman is very suitable for a film with such dark atmosphere and it also stands out on it's own. This film can also be a tearjerker when it chooses to be. This easily deserves to be placed in any "Top 10" list in the film industry.
