Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

John Q (2002)

Hardworking family man has his hours cut, his station wagon repossessed, and his son go into heart failure during a Little League game. Oh yes, he's a responsible husband and father so he's got insurance but...what? It's an HMO? Sucks to be him. Guess he should hijack the hospital.

So, obviously, it's going to be a heavy-handed message film -- but it went beyond simple cheesy sentimentality and got just plain bad. I mean, it was laughably terrible.
