Love the tornadoes; can't stand the people.
That about sums up this movie which I saw several times in a period of a few years. I enjoyed going back and re-visiting the tornado scenes. They are extremely entertaining.
However, the characters in this movie are so annoying I was sorry the twisters didn't carry them all off to movie hell somewhere.
Is there a dumber sounding male voice in Hollywood than Bill Paxton (with the exception of Keanu Reeves)?Are there more annoying people than the ones Helen Hunt plays? To make it really insufferable, Paxton and Hunt spend the entire movie yelling at each other. Can you find a supporting cast, people played by Jamie Gertz, etc., more stupid than the one in this story? Probably, but it won't be easy to find.
Do what I did on the third and last viewing: just fast-forward (skip chapters on the DVD) to the disaster scenes and skip all the other garbage.
