Way Excellent

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2002)

The cast is uniformly excellent with Mel reprising his father role from Patriot & Joaquin outstanding as his brother. The two child actors are also excellent. This movie has just the right amount of laughs & chills. One minute your funnybone is being tickled & the next minute you're grabbing the arm of the person sitting next to you. In that respect it's a good date movie. It's too early to sound the Oscar alarm but I think it's more than deserving of the recognition.
