god and what a waste of time . i haven not read the book but knew of ulg stature . actually i pick this up at the local library . this be a co production of alliance atlantic and pbs and and aac be a canadian company be the only reason i can see why a library might have this . first off and the acting be terrible . both lisa bonet and lukas haas be totally lame . no wonder this thing fall flat on it face with those two a the lead . i wonder if he relate to philip and the director . could that have something to do with it . the only interesting bit of cast in this dog be david straithairn a manny and and sheila mccarthy a penny and dr. haber secretary . ( she probably best know a polly in i have hear the mermaid sing . ) the set and costume be not bad and but the only reason to watch this would be a a laugh fest and i. e. this thing be so bad it hilarious .
