Sappy this is NOT

Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2001)

I've just looked back at comments made by Becca37. I think she is completely off the mark. If this film can be criticised it is for espousing material values, ie owning your own house. Playing the sex and race cards misses the point completely, and bearing in mind that the main character is driven to the point of suicide, and is forced to realise that his brother would be dead without him should be enough to show that this is not a sappy film.
This is one of my favourite films of all time, and the ending is worth all the pain of getting there.
