The bathos runs thick

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 1999)

For the life of me, I can't understand all the gushing about this cornball, sentimental and PHONY movie. There are certainly some strong performances, but they're outweighed by some of the two-dimensional portrayals, weak writing (that opera sequence -- oh, please) and most of all a completely garbage ending (I won't give it away) that stomps on what little credibility the movie has.
I guess you really can't go broke under-estimating people's intelligence.
