      Audience Member Not bad for a TV drama Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent film. It has a very young Matthew Lawrence in as i'm used to seeing him in films where he's alot older so seeing him so young was really weird. But it's a good film, tho i don't agree with their mother's decision to leave at all, as to me it was a purely selfish reason on her part. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It is nowhere near as good as the book.

      David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...note-worthy thanks to an early appearance from Ben Affleck (hamming it up even in his career's infancy)... Rated: 2/4 May 16, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
