The movie lives up to it's title

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2000)

I have always disagreed with the Academy not to mention most of the professional movie critics. But after viewing this masterpiece, I must say that my tastes are getting scarcely close to theirs. I had to watch it twice in a row after renting. Spacey, Benning, and Birch are all fascinating as is the script in this story of a man in a middle-age crisis until the beauty of a teenage girl brings him back to the spirit of his youth. I can see why many may not care for the controversy aspect of this film but in my opinion it's a slice of heaven for 2 wonderful hours.
