I'd give it a zero starts Let me show a couple of quotes.

The playwright (played by Jeff Daniels) was in New York on 9/11/2001, and he witnessed the planes crashing into the towers and the subsequent mayhem.

What he thought about it? "This may be the best thing that had ever happened to this fat, arrogant excuse for a country".

Pastor Jeremiah Wright comes to mind, he said something to that effect. And a myriad of other America-haters.

This "best thing" inspired the playwright to write a great play, but unfortunately for him "You can't produce a play about 9/11 that says we deserved it".

This made him so sad, he stopped writing altogether and became a drunk.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him?

Are we supposed to like this pathetic "arrogant excuse" for a movie?
