| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardSarandon brings her Bull Durham comic timing and the heft of every other part she's played. Long before Jake's figured out that maybe he loves her, the rest of us are already standing in line. |

| User ReviewBilly LWas flipping thru the channels when I came across this cute dude on HBO so I stopped and started watching it. It's just a cute little sweet flick. |
| User ReviewWS WIt was a made for TV HBO movie, but I really like it. |
| User Reviewslim cThe story of a wanna be bank robber just wanting to get some money for his kid and his hostage, a preacher's wife. You really need to see it, it's good, possibly a little predictable but what movie isn't these days? |

The ending is mediocre at its best, I'd call this adventure cute but flat, nobody likes a nice car with blown tires. |
