a "must-see" movie, cried often, well done.

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 1999)

My wife and I went to see the movie together, something I think very important as we could be pretty sure neither one would laugh at the other if we cried -- we did. I like King's work and was pleased to see some old (seen before) faces, as well as some new ones. I'm not familiar with "John Coffey", but that was one good actor. I personally disapprove of some of the language used regarding Blacks and women, but it was probably appropriate for the venue. My wife doesn't like King's books very much, he's too frightening, but we wanted to see the stars and our opinion is that when it is available as a pay per view or as a tape, we will definitely add it to our library. She also told me that it was a very well done movie and she liked all the actors in it. It was well written. That three hours sure didn't seem that long.
