    Somewhat affecting, yet it doesn't evoke our attention fully. This is mainly due to the performance (or lack of) Cuba Gooding Jr. The film is somewhat interesting, but it never actually does what it is supposed to do.

    Come on now... as much as they might try to disguise it, this is just a vehicle to make Anthony Hopkins play another Hannibal Lecter-esque character. Not bad but I'll bet there's no more than a handful of folks in the world who's seen it more than once.

  1. The medium is more palatable than the saccharine message because Hopkins and Gooding know how to put on a show.
  2. The warning against actors playing with dogs or children should be expanded to include men in gorilla suits.

    A mushy-headed, unintentionally funny inspirational drama that plays like a clumsy attempt to crossbreed "The Shawshank Redemption" and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."
