A sweet movie about a sweet man

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2000)

This is a sweet and thoughtful movie and though I was not as affected by it as Sixth Sense, it is a tragedy that is touching and sad. Kevin Spacey is great as the lead and makes his character very sympathetic and admirable. Annette Bening is also very good as the mother and the scenes of her breaking down were done well. I was one of the few who have never seen "Ordinary People", but will now as I suspect these two movies play off a similiar theme.
The daughter and Ricky were somewhat lacking, but the strength of Kevin's and Annette's acting carry the movie. Kevin should enter the class of modern day greats with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.
Enjoyed the movie and feel it was worth the price to see, will not suffer in presentation when it goes to home video.
No one is ordinary and God bless (help) those that think they are.
