I don't see what the fuss was about.

Well, this is one of the movies that I missed when I was growing up. Probably because I was so into Sci-Fi and Horror that this just didn't seem appealing to me at all. About 13 years after it's release, I rented it and fell asleep during it. I never got a chance to see it all the way thru. I had to have the tape back before I had a chance to finish it. I recently purchased it on DVD because of what little I remembered of it years ago and because I fell asleep during its first viewing. I just watched it on DVD..... and again, I almost fell asleep. DiNiro was great, as usual and so was Streep. I would never say this movie "sucked" or was bad but I have to say, it seemed SO slow to me. I mean, an hour of footage at the wedding was just too much. I really don't see what the fuss was all about. Maybe if I had viewed it during the year of its release, I may think differently about it now. But that's just my 2 cents worth. I hope I haven't offended anyone.
