poor movie, wooden acting

Rating: 2/10 (1 October 2001)

Many films on this database seem to attract mostly either 'loved it' or 'hated it' comments. Maybe people don't comment on films that they neither loved nor hated?
Anyhow, I hated this one.
I think the worst aspect was the forced, wooden acting by Pamela's parents. The saccharine displays of family emotion by actors who were clearly not comfortable with their roles or the script. I have never seen Robert de Niro stoop so low, or perform so badly.
As for the scriptwriter ...
2/10 (would have been 1/10 but the cinematography was OK)
