Review by banion48 (posted on 4-Apr-2005)

Although I am a big Kevin Spacey fan I was not such a fan of this movie. Perhaps it was Haley Joel Osment's stiltled performance that ruined it for me, or the fact that in the book Eugene Simonet (Spacey) is a gruff, black Vietnam Veteran, but that's besides the fact. The *adults* in the film give a wonderful performance. Hunt portrays a struggling, alcoholic mother; Spacey slips inside a character that was horribly scarred as a teen, creating a jaded, lonely adult; and Osment bounces from pane to pane trying to appear as adorable as he did in the Sixth Sense but just coming off as a sucrose, wanna-be adult. Jon Bon Jovi has a cameo in this flick (!), and it also features an idealistic view of the world in which one good deed will automatically spawn others.
