ok and here the short of it . this movie be full of corny dialogue and over the top acting and and a threadbare script . there be moment that intend to be very dramatic but simply come off humorous because of the over the top acting and poorly write line . i couldn not help laugh at moment that be mean to be very serious . the bright spot in this movie be the circus . see the circus in it heyday be certainly a treat . there be moment that come through as good . but then it nosedive right back into b movie territory . i be tempt to stop watch it several time . i certainly do not know how it win best picture and however . it must have be a slow year .
