Review
This bloated egghead's delight purports to document an imaginary Charles Lindbergh's rise and fall. Lucky Lindy (a straw man for Fox magnet Rupert Murgatroyd) marries a dingbat and sells out the american people, then cries like a baby when his snowglobe breaks. Who cares? Salad dressing pitchman Orson Wells tries too hard to be the next Marty Scorcese. It's poorly lit, overracted and shot after shot appear to be filmed through a tin can. Best leave this boat anchor to the "critics" and rent the delightful "Aviator." Rosebuds, indeed!
