Awful., 1 August 1999
1/10
Author: slinberg

Contrived, oversimplistic, relentlessly and unrealistically> cheerful, predictable. Add a little bad language to the worst> ABC after-school special you've ever seen, and you're about> where this film comes in. Rented because the cover said it had> won some prominent independent film award, but this seems to have been an error. We're going to try to get a refund from the video store.
