This is a dishonest mish-mash of loosely connected raw sentiment.

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2000)

This movie moved a lot of people because of its intense sentimentality, but it is a dishonest movie, a piece of extreme self-indulgence by a director without the ability to discriminate between feeling and fact, or between schlock and art. There are some wonderfully intense scenes in the movie, but they are invalid, pure phony manipulation, because the kinds of things they represent did not happen. This is the worst film I have seen, because of its dishonesty and bad taste.
