a beautiful bore.

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2002)

This and IN THE BEDROOM should be required viewing for insomniacs who also happen to be 'culture vultures'. Neither movie has much going for it, but this year has been so AWFUL for films that this is the best we can drum up. Ronnie Howard glosses over a good story and makes it palitable for any market, turning it into a Hallmark Special. Some of the acting is good, but overall a big ho-hum.
