USA 1997, 126 minutes
Dir. Gus Van Sant
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama

Feat. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams

Aroview: Toasted as the stars ascendant of New Hollywood, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck flaunt their writing/acting prowess in this affecting parable of how Robin Williams helps troubled-maths-genius Damon to cross-over from the wrong side of the tracks. Audiences were divided over whether the mega-hype delivered - it's no DEAD POET'S SOCIETY but hey, a class (Hollywood) act all the same.

3 stars (Good Enough) Good performances, but essentially about fairly pleasant people facing fairly surmountable obstacles. Not that that's a bad thing: if the dramatic arc was any steeper it'd be a Charlize Theron movie, and nobody, least of all this writer, wants that. ~HiFi

2 stars (Good Try) Goes out of its way to be boring which is a pity because there are a couple of good actors involved in Minnie Driver and Stellan Skarsgard. ~Tubbs
