Title: One Of The Best Films Of Its Type
Review: Some directorial problems in the beginning (i.e. music video style camerawork)do not prevent this film from being considered a classic in the genre of movies about the disabled or ill. Love Penn's performance. He is so good in everything he does. Michelle Pfeiffer really surprised me here...She gives one of her best performances. What also surprised me was how the film never had to force anything (i.e. humor, or the emotional stuff). The ending section of the film is very strong with some great supporting work by Diane Weist and Laura Dern. The music/soundtrack is also top notch with Beatles covers by everyone from Michael Pen and Aimee Mann, Ben Harper and Eddie Vedder.
Is the review positive or negative?
