“If 'The Day After Tomorrow' is a condemnation of George Bush, then 'Twister' was a love story and 'Volcano' was really about race relations. But don't expect the wacky left to allow any of this to interfere with its celebration of 'The Day After Tomorrow.' So desperate are they for a club--any club--with which to beat the administration, that if Tim Burton's goofy 'Mars Attacks!' had been released this summer, they would have embraced it as a righteous condemnation of Bush's dangerous, criminal scheme to exploit the red planet.”
-Jonathan V. Last, giving a surprisingly positive review of the Gore-endorsed disaster film, in the Weekly Standard.
