Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - And the two stars are for Mary Stuart Masterson
This movie is flat out terrible. While the premise of a "young girl forming an unlikely friendship with a mentally challenged man-child" sounds great on paper, the execution is awful, right down to the cheesy "in awhile crocodile" catchphrase. Kevin Bacon's research into the role apparently involved watching lots of Pee-Wee's Playhouse reruns.

The only bright spot in this movie is Mary Stuart Masterson, who does a more than serviceable turn as Bacon's troubled guardian/sister.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing acting
Kevin Bacon outdid himself in this performance. Wonderful storyline and thought provoking subject matter. Thoroughly enjoyable.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Surprise
I happened upon this excellent film on IFC and then bought a copy--seems to be a habit of mine. So I saw only the last half of the movie and then had to go back and watch the whole thing.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great movie
This movie was great. Most people, myself included, had never heard of it, but that doesn't mean it won't appeal to many people. It's not a mainstream movie because there isn't a whole lot of action. The actors do a superb job with the scant storyline, especially the little girl, Evan Rachel Wood. Kevin Bacon plays a mentally retarded man, who seems to be a little too intelligent in certain parts, but that is a minor flaw (Bacon, after all, isn't really mentally retarded). The story is one of a friendship ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Thumbs Up!
For one I give this movie five stars because I was an extra in this movie. I will never forget meeting Kevin Bacon and Timothy Hutton it was a dream come true. The year was 1996. They filmed the movie in Cherokee, NC. I worked at Santa's Land and was around them for 2 months. Me and my friend watched them do some of the filming at a brown house close to where food lion is in
Cherokee, NC. The only sad part I waited two years to see this movie and a lot of parts they filmed at Santa's Land they cut out including ... Read More
