Product: Frequency (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Very enjoyable movie
Many others have already summarized the plot of this movie, so I won't bore you with those details.All I'll say is that Frequency contained a few surprises, a lot of heart and solid acting by Dennis Quaid and others. I enjoyed it tremendously -- so much so that I bought the DVD and have watched it three or four times already.Even though the main focus is the relationship between father and son (separated by 30 years since the death of the father), this movie of the heart doesn't shirk on matters of the head. More scientific in its foundation than Field of Dreams (which simply featured a magic cornfield that enabled the living to interact with the dead), Frequency still manages to make the viewer wonder and wish -- and yearn for second chances with lost loved ones.If you like your movies to be intelligent, well-acted and able to employ both your heart and your mind, you could do a lot worse than Frequency. I highly recommend it.If you don't want to take the plunge and outright buy it before you see it, rent it first. However, I think you'll enjoy it enough to want to own it. So just skip the middle step and order it from Amazon today.
