Hugely pleasant surprise

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2000)

Based on both the previews and what I've seen of Julia Roberts in the past, I wasn't expecting much from this movie. Guess what--it's GREAT! Very funny, moving, engaging (I only looked at my watch once, which is a record for me), and just suspenseful enough. Albert Finney is phenomenal; I think he deserves a best actor nomination. Go to this movie and have a great time!
