What a shmonzes

Rating: 5/10 (31 May 2000)

This movie would have had the calibre to become one of the great ones. And up to about three quarters of the film, it was a delight. The first movie out of Hollywood in a long time that was not a remake, sequel or other unoriginal production. But then - what (if anything) did overcome the filmmakers to have such a finish. What a shame....if I could go back in time I would leave the theatre after about one hour and think of that as a good movie. Unfortunately all that I can say about it now is: unintellectual Hollywood Kitsch!
