It wasn't just the trite telling of a potentially interesting tale but it was also some of the offensive themes and messages which, if told in the format of 'light entertainment' you so describe would in fact constitute as propaganda and thus is subject to criticism whether it be right or wrong.

I understand you have a problem with sentimental films, thats fine. However there is a large audience for them. Not everyone wants to watch the latest self obsessed overly indulgent film noir for etc. Some people enjoy a film just as something easy to watch for 90 minutes to escape from a shit day in the office, for example. That said, i didn't enjoy the film either. but thats because I hate American football and got bored during the references to it. Anyway, I think you should judge a film based not just purely on your thoughts as a script writer / film student but also on that of 'joe public' who are ultimately the end audience.
