VAN SANT SAVES LOSER SCRIPT

Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2001)

This film has an incredibly clumsy script saved by Gus Van Sant's driving, virile direction, which keeps it moving so that you ALMOST don't realize how disconnected and self-contradictory it is. But even Van Sant can't save a film in which the eerily immature Robin Williams is expected to be believable as a human being.
