Big disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (21 February 2000)

What was this film about? It was *far* too long. One and a half hours would stretch the storyline let alone 3 hours. The first hour basically did nothing. And there were some preposterous moments in it - like the whole mouse business. It felt like the movie was based on an old fable that took 5 minutes to tell - but was stretched to 3 hours in this film. American Beauty will walk away with the Oscars if this movie got a nomination for Best Film.
