Negative Positive
Title: Predictability almost saved by strong acting.
Review: Ah, I love the smell of white trash in the morning...smells like Hollywood contrivance."Where the Heart Is" seems to be ambivalent: it's either a commercial for Walmart, or a poster film for the sterilization of uneducated southern women.The film's few strong moments are overshadowed by a plethora of disasters both natural and script-related. (I exaggerate not when I say that I predicted the line "There's nothing better than you Novalee" verbatim, a good half hour before the film's conclusion.)The only shining moments come from the lead roles Portman and Judd, both of whom don't receive the roles their talents deserve.
Is the review positive or negative?
