Okay

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 1999)

Whoopi Goldburg's oscar winning performance gives this film what life it has. Otherwise, it's just a routine romance with a spot of comedy.
It did not deserve a Best Picture nomination over Reversal of Fortune, The Grifters, The Rapture, Postcards from the Edge, Journey of Hope, etc. It didn't make my top ten of the year.
See it once, for Goldburg's performance. You won't really want to see it again.
