'In the end, "The Day After Tomorrow" is as much morality tale as disaster film. It turns out that global warming and sudden climate change are "bad." Nothing discredits a liberal cause like an actual liberal, and Roland's inane story, flimsy characters, bad dialog and blunt, patronizing moralizing do more damage to environmental causes than if Dick Cheney himself were whipping shitties in his Hummer in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The final line of the movie is something along the lines of, "Look! The nations of the world are hugging!"'
(No idea what "whipping shitties" means, but it sounds funny, anyway.)
