For the Love of your Sanity...

Rating: 1/10 (26 September 1999)

... keep clear of this snoozer. I got dragged to this flick by a friend who thought this would be a real dramatic film. Uh-uh. Was this one ever out of the ballpark.
This movie is told almost entirely in flashback, which made it incredibly confusing at times, not to mention incredibly slow. The whole premise was Chapel and Jane's relationship. They hate each other, then they love each other, then they hate each other ... throughout the movie, all I saw was Jane getting used continuously, and yet she still stays with him. Gimme a break. This is the '90's. She should know by now that you don't need a jerk to complete you or anything, yet that seems to be the underlying message. She came off as completely whiny and needy.
Though the movie plays almost entirely by flashbacks, it all begins (and ends) at one fateful baseball game, the last of Chapel's career. Gee, how could this movie end? Will Chapel win the game in the last inning and win back the love of his life? Or will he lose the game and will Jane take off forever from him? It's not a real brainer.
It was a complete waste of seven bucks. But go see it if you have a serious insomnia problem. This movie will clear that up real quick.
