| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatDanny DeVito gives the most compelling performance of his career in a gripping drama about a single parent and his two sons. |
| User ReviewKevin TOMG!! I looove this movie. Makes me cry every time. |
| User ReviewChristopher LLove this Movie! It's about a family coming to terms with the reality of their lives. Imperfect as it is, wrong decisions and all. This was a movie was originally intended to star Jack Nicholson, but due to a scheduling conflict, it was never meant to be. Remarkable performances from the young cast : Meko Huges, and Robert Steinmeiller. Danny Devito is terrific! He plays a complicate man who has to almost lose everything before he realizes, whats important. The subject matter is a bit of a downer, but its that much more inspiring in the final third act. Pay close attention to the James Horner music score, it is really a classic! |
