Sorry to disagree...and no I haven't experienced a hurricane but I loved the movie. It wasn't supposed to be a documentary or reality show. It was supposed to be a movie, a drama....And it was...LOVED IT. I especially loved the portrayal of Bryan Norcross. He had me hooked from start to finish. Loved the son and father who were at odds and then the father thought he had lost him forever. And the reporter who wanted a story and was willing to do whatever to get it? Well he got it. He got something he never really thought he would experience. He got to see it wasn't just glitz and glamor of a big story but the human story behind it all. All in all a great movie.
