My loving wife found this and I have to share it.
Tim Goodman's review of '10.5'
A couple of choice quotes:
In fact, "10.5" is so joyously awful that if you dare undertake participation-style viewing connected in some manner to alcohol you'll have to rein in the number of tip-off moments.
It really comes down to this: If you don't have stadium seating in your house equipped to hold at least five or six giddy, irony-soaked, cliche- hawking friends, then don't bother watching. If you watch "10.5" alone it will be like going to a comedy club by yourself, or, at the basest level, simply wasting four hours of your short life. "10.5" is a movie best shared with others.
You have to love a movie that topples the Space Needle and the Golden Gate Bridge almost immediately, but it's a truly special occasion when you can watch an earthquake follow a train down the tracks and swallow it up like a shark chasing a swimmer in "Jaws." That alone is almost worth the four-hour price of admission to "10.5" because, if nothing else, it gives keen insight into the rest of the movie. After all, if you can dream up a scenario in which an earthquake CHASES A TRAIN DOWN THE TRACKS, well, anything is possible.
Go read it.
