(Wall Street Journal) - Amelia Earhart is still missing.
In her place, "Amelia" presents a protofeminist with a
frozen smile spouting free-as-a-bird slogans from a bird-
brained script. The film struggles to stay aloft, and may
soon vanish, like its namesake, without a trace. But below
and beyond the mystery of Earhart's fate, "Amelia" leaves
you wondering how its abundantly gifted director, Mira
Nair, and its Oscar-winning star, Hilary Swank, could have
been complicit in such clumsiness. It's the age-old
question of why bad movies happen to good people..

I think they would have been better off allowing Amy Adams to reprise
the role. |

Or Audrey Tatou, who played her in the French version, "Amelie." |
