Crash
Ugh.Crash : racial relations :: Shindler's List : Holocaust
Paul Haggis seems to confuse, on the one hand, the repeating & depicting of the ugliness of racial stereotypes with, on the other hand, an actual conversation about them. It's not the lack of nuance that's so terrible about this movie-- it's the fact that the film appears to think that it is nuanced.
As Phoebe Evergreen said, this movie is Volcano without the volcano. (Plus, we now have the answer to the question: "How bad does a movie have to be for Phoebe Evergreen to not be interested in seeing it?")
Someone please lock Paul Haggis in a room with Thom Anderson until only one comes out alive.

Actually, I think you have to rephrase the question as "How bad does a movie by someone named Haggis have to appear before Phoebe will decline to see it?"
