Reviews for Brokedown Palace
about as thrilling as a long line at customs. The screenplay (is)apparently based on those recorded warnings played in airports... Danes and Beckinsale struggle to bring some conviction to a story sorely in need of it.
Explores friendship as a school of virtue where trust and honesty are always tested.
