If you've nothing else to do, it goes down easily, but don't expect much more. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
0.5/4

2.5/4

A few cliched scenes grate, but one looks forward to seeing what Clark will do next; he shows a welcome determination to make films that illuminate out lives. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
