This movie is O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D

Rating: 5/10 (6 December 1999)

Sorry, but my heart has failed to be warmed by this plotless film class exercise. Supposedly, this is a powerful story of a man with inner demons (child abuse) who meets his match with a therapist with a similar story, blah blah blah. What it really is is a Lifetime movie dressed up with some fancy cinematography. I gave it a 5/10 because it's not bad...but it sure ain't good.
If you want to see a movie about a poor, smart, troublemaking boy who straightens up after he falls in love with a rich girl, you'd get a much better film in "The Breakfast Club" or "Aladdin."
