On Hostile Ground

This movie seemed to be a Volcano sidekick, but after seeing it half n' half, I had to agree with myself that this was one of the funniest movies ever made... I don't know which catastrophy is worse, the movie or the one that the killer cookie dough is supposed to prevent... Someone hand me the chocolate chips, please!

Utterly formulaic TV disaster movie in which New Orleans threatens to collapse in on itself as sinkholes open up under its streets at the height of Mardi Gras celebrations Naturally the straight arrow geologist is not believed as a devious majoral aide seeks to obscure evidence in order to avoid the cancellation of the parade

Bland actors,inadequate visual effects and a script that would only be mediocre if it improved by 200%

Why do movies like this get made at all? Who could possibly like them as they are inert and lifeless in every respect

RE: the acting: John Corbett is totally wasted. RE: the writing: SOMEONE was totally wasted when they wrote this, dude!

A) New Orleans sits well out into the Gulf of Mexico. There are no caverns under it; there is only sand and water. "on Hostile Mud" maybe; or "In Hostile Muck." But "ground?" I don't think so.

B) Liquid polyurethane fumes are toxic. Poor John would have stopped running and took a little nap long before he got out of the cave.

C) What's to stop the foam from continuing to expand after it surfaces? I envision the sequel as "The blob that ate New Orleans."

Why, oh why New Orleans? I would have gone with Orlando. They have sinkholes; the Magic Kingdom has parades; Brittany Daniel could wear a skin-tight white jumpsuit and look good ANYWHERE.

Reccommendation: Be totally wasted when you watch this.

This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Too bad they weren't trying to make a comedy. I just couldn't get past the implausibility of the entire movie and the blaring inaccuracies. For example: the average elevation of New Orleans is below sea level, therefore you can't get very deep into the ground without finding water. The makers of this TV movie didn't seem to think that was important.

All in all, this was not a good movie. But at least they managed to stick every New Orleans stereotype into it and still have room for a pretty girl.

A familiar looking cast, one two of them, I think corbet was in my big fat Greek wedding and northern exposure? I haven't seen either and Brittany Daniel not to get confused with little black book, 8 mile brittany murphy. Now I have seen her in 90210 and broken lizards club dread. Anyway what I'm trying to say is it has a couple of minor stars that careers should have taken a dive after this landsfill grounded. The dialogue gets too detailed for a such a dumb big goofy disaster movie. I still don't know how or what the actual disaster was? Perhaps I misread the lines, and this is suppose to be a thinking mans disaster pic? We start to care about corbett towards the end, and think just maybe one cast member could be sacrificed...The stuff they fill holes with reminds me of evolution for some reason? Its situated in New orleans during mardi gra but the boys will be sad pressed to find what they're looking for. I watched it on TV so only saved $ just lost time.
