Bridges plays Lyle, Vinnie's childhood chum back in Kentucky. Lyle and Vinnie pulled a major league scam back in 1970 by switching horses in several races. Problem is, Simpatico is as sterile as a cuckoo clock. Vinnie wants to expose Lyle and Rosie. Sharon Stone doesn't appear until the one hour point of the film, and when she does, her contrived performance is easily her worst in years.
Problem is, neither actor remotely resembles their adult counterpart.
Normally, we can be forgiving of such foibles. But when a film like this one trots along at a deliberate pace, you begin to notice the mistakes. Simpatico comes in dead last, and the odds are there's no payoff for the audience.
