Almost too late, Bowen realizes his error, joining forces with Draco to, with hope, change the course of history and defeat the wicked King Einon. When I first saw the previews, I thought, Good God, this is a blatant use of Sean Connery's draw to get an audience. I am more than happy to report that I was completely wrong in my pre-judgment of the film. I had no problem with his perf, though.

The locales in eastern Europe lend just the right feel to the film. This combo catapults this from adequate film to a fine selection to take the kids to. Eddie drives a limo and one day picks up an eccentric Texan, Wild Bill Burgess, at the airport who unbeknowst to her is the new owner of the Knicks. Wild Bill, played by Frank Langella, is amused by Eddie's commentary on how to fix the Knicks' problems. Ever the showman, Bill comes up with an honorary coach contest and arranges it so that Whoopi stands a good chance of winning - and she does, with a free throw.
