Maybe it was the movie...maybe it was just Tom Cruise...?

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2003)

As much as I wanted to like this movie- I couldn't...it was soooo hyped that maybe I was just disappointed by the result. The children are cute...some moments are funny...but there is something about this movie that seems insincere..maybe it's Tom Cruise's acting. Sometimes I really do think that he looks like such a "pretty boy" that it takes away from the reality and the truthfulness of the characters he plays. This movie is an example of this. I don't know...something about his performance irked me. Renee Zellweger was great though and so were the kids in the movie and definitely Cuba Gooding was good, but I don't think he deserved an oscar for it. watch it...you just might find it to be entertaining.... (7 stars out of 10)
