Feel good story with good performances...

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2001)

1st watched 6/6/2001 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Steven Soderburgh): Feel good story with good performances from Julie Roberts & Albert Finney make this tug-at-the-heart film work. We know from the beginning that there will be a happy ending which lessons the realistic quality that it could have had. This is definetly a Hollywood picture and good causes are usually received well these days both by the public and the Oscars. I recommend this as a good Hollywood movie, and Roberts does a good job with what she has but I've seen her better. She probably won the Oscar for her career, but oh well why not. Back to the film--- a well-made cleanly drawn picture of a real person who probably was not quite as impressive in real life as the character was, but that's the way this type of movie is usually made otherwise we wouldn't want to watch it would we, but this one we do.
