This film is
directed by Tom Shadyac...director of the
current Jim Carrey hit "Bruce Almighty" along
with other Carrey hits "Liar Liar" and 'Ace
Ventura: Pet Detective." This film was
considerably different from those films, and
even Shadyac's less successful "Patch Adams."
This film features a flat performance by Kevin
Costner, and a storyline that never seemed to
gather my interest. I was moderately impressed
by supporting performances from Kathy Bates and
Linda Hunt, but they weren't central enough to
really save this film. The film seems to be
striving for a mystery/romantic
feeling...unfortunately, it never really commits
to either path and ends up feeling wishy-washy.
Costner is not a strong enough performer to
rescue this script.
