Watch this movie, ignore the bad reviews!

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2002)

I was upset after watching this wonderful film, and then coming to imdb.com to look up its awards, and found that it had been nominated by Razzie awards for "Worst Remake" and other awards it won for worst movie! I don't understand, this was a great movie. It was slow moving, but that just added to the melancholy drama of the film. I found it moving, sad at times, funny at times, and the acting was terrific. I don't know what reasons Razzie had for ridiculing it. Furthermore, I feel it was better than some films that have won Academy Awards (Out of Africa, Titanic, The English Patient). Do not let the reviews frighten you out of watching this film! Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins were wonderful in this film, and I think that the average person that watches this film will agree with me than with the critics.
