An Actor - Director's movie

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2002)

Clearly this film will likely win a lot of awards. Russell Crowe does a better job than Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Ron Howard WILL finally get the Oscar he deserves. A solid 10 for both.
BUT, as entertainment, the movie is a loser. I still prefer to spend my money and come our feeling good, rather than come out admiring the work of the artists.
