Tom & Cuba

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2000)

This movie would have been better if it had just concentrated on the relationship between Tom & Cuba. I never saw Tom have so much chemistry with a co-star. At times this movie felt like a male love story masquerading as popular entertainment. But you had to put up with the ever-annoying other members (except Bonnie Hunt & Jerry O'Connell) of this ensemble, and God knows I can live without ever hearing THAT phrase ever again. All in all, I'd recommend the movie, but probably not for any reasons that would be widely acceptable. Cuba's Oscar was deserved and his acceptance speech was the highlight of the night.
