It is slow, but it's also depressing!

Rating: 1/10 (13 October 1999)

Good news and bad news... First the bad news: I went to see "For the Love of the Game." The good news: I got up and left after 20 minutes, and the theater management refunded my money. Yes!!! I'd mention the name of the Santa Barbara theater chain that operates the Goleta movie theater I went to, in order to compliment them, but we're supposed to avoid commercial mentions here. Well OK then.
Doesn't Kevin Costner-- who is supremely talented and can be marvelous on-screen-- have any friends? You know, honest, loving, committed people who will tell him the truth about the movies he does? Kevin, dood, forget your "star power" (while you still have it), and get some real, down-and-dirty, from the heart, tell it like it is, advice and direction. It could come from a creative director, an artist, or even someone not in the movie biz. But find SOMEBODY, my brother. You could be making masterpieces instead of this dross.
