With "The Langoliers," I don't know how the actors kept a straight face. The corny dialogue (which featured those two stupid, little words "The Langoliers" far too often) was full of cheesy camp. It might not have been that bad if the same dumb sentences weren't repeated twenty times over by the over-wrought, made-to-look-dumb characters.
The actors REALLY tried, too. I was often embarrassed for them. Still, Bronson Pinchot conveyed some little sense of menace as a man on the edge of insanity. I should also point out that a great actor like Dean Stockwell deserves much better than this.
By the climax of this cheap thriller (which is packed full of dull-looking computer animation) the film has spun hopelessly out of control.
Oh, well.
May it rest in peace with the other bad King adaptations.
