Despite the movie's dramatic weaknesses, I was spellbound by the images.
Doesn't have much plot. It just sort of meanders around like a wildebeest playing Blind Man's Bluff.
While Basinger admirably invests her role with deep passion and looks splendid in her Kenya khakis, the true story she stars in is disappointingly tame and dramatically inert.
Why waste the price of a movie ticket when you can see wildebeests cavorting for free from the comfort of your own recliner?
Plods along in the Oscar-winning, yawn-inducing tradition of "Out of Africa," making me yearn for something less "National Geographic."
Here's hoping your own dreams of Africa are more interesting -- and better acted -- than this movie.
Visually gratifying but dramatically weak, the film falls short of its aspiration to be a sweeping romantic epic.
