The film is like a box of chocolates, the further you get the sicker you feel

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2002)

There's something really nasty at the heart of this movie which makes my skin crawl. It's the story of a simple-minded retard unquestioningly accepting the word of all authority figures in his life. He winds up a multi-millionaire living in a huge mansion and adored by all. His girlfriend Jenny, on the other hand, is an intelligent young girl who is abused by her father. She leaves home for college and tries to make her own way in life, ending up with a violent partner, addicted to drugs and dying of AIDS. No amount of gloss could render such message palatable. Utter garbage.
