Full Plot Details

Samantha Hughes, a teenage Kentucky girl, never knew her father, who died in Vietnam before she was born. Samantha lives with her uncle Emmett Smith, who also served in Vietnam. Emmett hangs around with Tom, Earl and Pete, three other Vietnam veterans who, like Emmett, all have problems of one kind or another, that relate to their war experiences. Sam, as Samantha is known, becomes obsessed with finding out about her father and his experiences, but Emmett and the other veterans don't want to talk about the war. Sam pushes everyone to attend a dance honoring the town's veterans, but Pete and Earl get into a fight, Emmett disappears, and Tom takes Sam home for an unsuccessful tryst. When Sam reads her father's diary, she begins to understand what his life and death meant, and with a trip to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, she and Emmett at least temporarily come to terms with the war in their lives.

Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Geoff AndrewJewison's post-Vietnam movie concentrates on bereavement, with the consequence that it's decent but dull.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Desmond RyanIn essence, In Country is a well-turned variation on the quest to find a father that shows up in the folk tales of almost any culture.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffNorman Jewison usually is a commanding storyteller, but In Country is a film with two stories that fail to add up to something greater.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 7/10 by Willie WaffleIt is refreshing to see the bluster Willis shows as a leading man disappear when he takes smaller challenging roles such as this. Someday, a role like this could lead to more recognition of his immense acting ability.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Rita KempleyThough Bruce Willis has top billing as a troubled Vietnam veteran, British whizbang Emily Lloyd virtually squeezes him off the screen as his live-in niece, whose soldier father died before she was born.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Michael WilmingtonThere's a decency about this movie that's almost palpable. It's not trying to pump us up with false jingoism or the sins of the past. Jewison, a Canadian, probably approaches the entire subject with a mediatory mood.
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by David SterrittUnfortunately, the last half-hour slides into the weepiest sort of sentimentality.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 6/10 by Mark R. LeeperLike the Memorial itself, the film brings not so much understanding for the war veteran as a tribute to the veteran. That is not so ambitious a goal, but it is sufficient.
Philadelphia Daily News - 6/10 by Gary ThompsonJewison manipulates the audience's familiarity with this national monument to achieve the kind of dramatic pitch that the characters themselves could not attain.
Reel Film Reviews - 5/10 by David NusairFilmmaker Norman Jewison does a nice job of establishing the small town (and its myriad of denizens) in which Lloyd's affable character resides...
