if there be a hell and it contain a screening room in which grand canyon be play over and over again on an eternal loop . one would hope that the presence of so many marvelous actor danny glover and alfre woodard and kevin kline and mary louise parker would help make up for the presence of mary mcdonnell ( whose penance be to watch her own film for all eternity ) . but and no . apparently they inject those other actor with a serum make from mcdonnell . the entire affair be pretentious and overblown and insulting ( if you be deaf or know anyone who be and be prepare for your blood to boil at the ludicrous tdd scene ) . grand canyon be fill with obnoxious and self involved people and but never give u a reason to like or understand or sympathize with or even tolerate them . with rare exception and they be insufferable loser that the gene pool would be good off without . there no plot to speak of and no character development ( these people would not ever develop ) and no break out performance and the most arch writing you will ever encounter in a film . the best thing about grand canyon . it title . this be one large hole of a movie .
