Got two thumbs up from Siskel and Ebert


I remember this got two thumbs up from Siskel and Ebert, wo I saw it. I thought it was horrible - implausible and uninteresting.

True story - I NEVER watched Siskel and Ebert again after this. I like Mira Sorvina, et al, but this movie was not good.

Good call - if you don't agree with a movie reviewer one time, you should never listen to their opinions ever again. People should agree with each other all the time or you shouldn't bother listening to them.

It just shows everyone is capable of error.
Or payola.... Ha..

Exactly. I had tried to watch movies they recommended (when I could find them), and ended up shutting them off. I'll admit Mira Sorvino was the reason I went to see this crap, and the only memory I have of it was the ticket seller saying "Are you 17?" I was I'm 25, lady. I have no plans to watch it again to try to make sense of it.
