Customer Reviews:
Even though it's a bit old by now, still a great overall film, 2008-09-28
My mom had this dvd lying around the living room so I decided to watch it today since I was bored with nothing else to do. I knew a little bit about it from watching the oscars back in 1999 and from word-of-mouth. It is a pretty good movie story wise, though a little predictable at times. All the characters can be relatable. Kevin Spacey delivers a dramatic and comendable performance and Anette Bening is great too. The acting in this movie was top notch. I would have give it 5 stars it if werent for the predictibility in this movie. Overall, I would reccomend it to casual movie fans like myself.
