Reel Toronto: <em>John Q</em>

Hey, it's a parable about the need for socialized medicine starring Denzel Washington. What's not to like? Obviously something, since John Q didn't exactly tear up the box office. Roger Ebert pulls no punches, saying he's down with its message while describing it as "so earnest, so overwrought and so wildly implausible that it begs to be parodied." The New York Times' Elvis Mitchell similarly said "it is a remarkable document, so ham-fisted that it sabotages its own worthwhile arguments."
