The Critics Are Underwhelmed by "The Path to 9/11"
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 08:43 PM by joemurphy
Here's Kenneth Tucker's review:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/review/tv/0,6115,1516013_3_0_,00.html

"...The best scene in five hours is a brief one in which Everybody Loves Raymond's Patricia Heaton (as ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine) condescends magnificently to Keitel (''I think the people here might appreciate it if you could pronounce the name of their country properly'').

The performances are actually wonderful. That they're in the service of presenting a monumental horror so tediously is appalling, really. Grade: D+"


Besides being historically and factually inaccurate, it just plain sucks as a piece of entertainment.

3. Yeah, what's up with that!?
Harvey Keitel on TV is weird enough, but in a Repug propaganda flick?

2. If I hadn't heard anything else about it, the fact that Patricia Heaton
is in it tells me everything I needed to know.
