Laughably bad acting (especially by Moffat as the president) and script, the latter based on a Tom Clancy novel.  Oh well, at least you get to see Han Solo palling around with Darth Vader.  Phillip Noyce misdirected.

I wanted to like this movie, because I read the very positive Pauline Kael review ages ago (not quite at the time, but a few years later), and I like Kurt Russell and sometimes love Robin Williams.  Unfortunately, I disliked Williams's character, who is the protagonist, as he's a whiner and a cheater and just not funny.  Too bad.  It would be nice to like a sports comedy for a change.

Roger Spottiswoode directed.
