I think part of the reason I'm so strongly against Crash is that it had an all star cast, and got some good reviews. It was the letdown after a buildup of expectations.

The good thing about Crash is what Sycamore mentions. We should all just get along, because we are all the same inside. Kinda obvious.

The bad thing about Crash is that while every character has some good and some bad in them, the bad outweighs the good something like 10 to 1. Of the dozen or so characters in the movie, Brendon Frazier's character was the only one that I felt was as decent as most average human beings are. The rest of the characters were horrible people. And the movie seemed to be preaching that they were supposed to represent us all. I know I am better than all the characters in that movie. Everyone I know is also better than all the characters in that movie. The characters sucked, and the film was trying to say that we all suck. We don't. Therefore the film is bad.
