In Canada the film biz looks up to Robert Lantos as some sort of huge success. But in Hollywoodyou know, where they make films that people actually seehe'd be a mediocre, mid-range producer. And probably not even that.
First and foremost is the fact that most of his movies have tanked completely at the box office, losing the (Canadian taxpayer) investment. And with an exception or two, they've garnered critical shrugs, or worse. In Hollywood he'd probably never work again. In Canada he gets rewarded for LOSING more money than anybody else.
Why am I p*ssed? Because part of all that tax money was mine. Pay it back, Robert Lantos.
Mediocre producer at best
