At the end of the two hours I wasted watching this manipulative, meaningless, maudlin movie, I wished I had those two hours back. It was a tear-jerker in the worst way; it was obviously going for the two-Kleenex box crowd, but brought only a little nasal congestion (no tears) to my usually highly-emotional girlfriend, and I felt sad in exactly one spot of the movie. About 1 hour and 59 minutes prior to the end of the movie, we both knew the underlying theme of the movie, and how it would end. The characters are all distinctive, but contrived. The only bright spot is Sean Connery, who can do no wrong. RUN (do not walk) away from the shelf in the video store where this video is lurking - waiting for some poor, unsuspecting victim to walk by.
