Sappy. Sappy. Sappy

Rating: 5/10 (27 July 2002)

Special effects alone save this sappy romance from oblivion. At the end, the aging heroine throws a priceless heirloom into the ocean. Makes absolutely no sense -- just an absurd gesture for dramatic effect. Pretty well sums up the whole movie. How many millions of dollars were spent so that the ladies have an excuse to drag their menfolk to the cinema? Hmmm. In that sense it works.
