The 11th Hour
The 11th Hour is a 90 minute environmental schlockumentary produced and narrated by actor Leonardo DiCaprio which endorses the theory of man made global warming. The film was released in late August 2007 and immediately became a bust at the box office. It was shown on over 111 screens a week, and after the first eighteen days only grossed $417.913 from ticket sales, less than the cost of the films production.[1]
Pre-screened showings of the film to reporters ending with most of the attenders asleep. [2] The Chicago Sun newspaper called the 11th Hour "a bore" and the liberal news parody website The Onion called it "a headache of a film directed like an Errol Morris project, but with half the substance. It's clearly preaching to the choir, but even they may find it off-key."[3]
