Oscar Nomination for Worst Movie of the Year

Dumb. This movie is worse than Wing Commander, except that unlike Wing Commander, it isn't funny. The fact that Burt Reynolds and Orlando Jones were involved with this movie is unfathomable. For the unknown actors who had bills to pay, I understand why they would be involved: work or face a collection agency. But for Burt Reynolds and Orlando Jones?
The most exciting part of the movie is when the boy shoots Burt Reynolds' character, but that's over in the first seven minutes. What follows is absurd: the wounded man gets into a car with the boy and his mother for a road trip. Huh?
Perhaps if there was inspiring dialogue on the way to the hospital, Waterproof could have redeemed itself. However, it doesn't happen. The road trip is boring. The trio go to a little town called Waterproof, which is also boring. At any time Burt Reynold's character could have gone to a phone and called the police or a hospital, but he doesn't. He enjoys being tortured by the mundane, but that doesn't mean we as the audience have to. Like the first reviewer, I did not finish the film. I got up and left.
Save your money. You will get more excitement from taking out the trash than you will from watching this movie.
