Had Williams chopped away more pointedly at the rambling script, he might've had something memorable.
A top-notch cast compensates for dubious credibility.

Wow! This is the 1st occasion I am giving, 5 stars for a movie! I had this movie in the closet for a while thinking it was a bust of a, "want to be," Hallmark movie. It truly is not that type of movie ! Watching this movie today in this generation is truly remarkable to find a great movie with a tremendous storyline. Considering it was made in 2000, this movie has to be considered phenomenal now and days. This is a must watch for film fans !!!!
Report
No-Good Men, Foolish Choices and Birth on the Floor of a Wal-Mart.
The Wal-Mart of cinematic soap operas. One-stop shopping for your emotional movie needs.
A particularly egregious array of Kodak moments.
Banal and trite where it could have been insightful and emotionally truthful, this Fox release is also notable for featuring the first disappointing performance by teen star Natalie Portman.
In comparison to Where the Heart Is, the Wal-Mart commercials seem like cinema verite.
This is one of Natalie Portman's best movies. However,it is a little silly. But I still highly recommend you see it. The soundtrack is great too. Don't miss it.
