If you've nothing else to do, it goes down easily, but don't expect much more. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
0.5/4
The characters and their problems are both so cliched that it makes you wonder if the filmmakers had ever seen a movie before; didn't they realize how stunningly unoriginal, how worn out and overused, this material was? Go to Full Review TV Guide 01/09/2007
2.5/4

A few cliched scenes grate, but one looks forward to seeing what Clark will do next; he shows a welcome determination to make films that illuminate out lives. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
