Pearl Horrible was as much about the historical event it's named after as Leprechaun was to good acting. I'm afraid to launch into a discussion about the insulting nature of this film because I have to be back at work in two days and don't want to be late. But then again, why choose now to start showing up on time.
Historical Accuracy: Had to look at my movie ticket to even remember what the subject was.
Character Development: the show Small Wonder bested this film's finest moment.
Storyline: I kept waiting for Maverick, Goose, Viper and Iceman to round the corner.
Special Effects: Very good but they would have had to dunk you under water and whiz bullets past your head to compensate for all the other flatline areas.
Equation:
(((Days of Thunder / 10) +
(Independence Day x 2000) +
(Halloween x 2)) x 3.14) -
((Saving Private Ryan x 4000) -
(JFK / 100) -
(Das Boot + (infinitiy))) =
Pearl Harbor
Best Moment: When someone in the theater pulled the fire alarm forcing an evacuation.
Worst Moment: That they didn't pull the alarm five minutes into the film, instead of five minutes from the end.
Good Gracious!
