...Seems like everybody wants a little piece of that Kennedy magic—Anthony Hopkins, Lindsay Lohan, Sharon Stone, Elijah Wood, William H. Macy, Demi Moore, Martin Sheen, Heather Graham, Helen Hunt, and Christian Slater to name a few. Unfortunately, this over-the-top movie star-apalooza merely signals what’s to come—a bombardment of hyperbolic political maxims and religious statements that are better suited for an Al Sharpton rally than a thoughtful movie...
