Yet another - might have been great movie

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2002)

Based on R1 DVD
This movie has all the ingredients of a great 'mentor is redeemed by the kids he inspires' film. Alas it never quiet comes together. Reeves tries to get into the part and the kids are charming but the cheap by the numbers story line demeans everything.
There is a low level romantic interest and a lot of ham directing.
5/10 catch it on TV
