Look ..it may have been like 10 to 15 yrs since I last seen this movie..but as a kid the movie left a deep impact..maybe having a sibling that is mentally handicapped may have something to do with this review ..but as i recall..it wasn't bad at all..lord knows i will probably never see this film again..but as a drama ..(and as one that doesn't like dramas too much)I can honestly say that this is a real good flick..it will leave u with emotions..real emotions).unlike movies today....this movie does its best to leave u with long lasting memories..whether good or bad ones..i recommend it!!! and i for one miss it dearly..I really ope for it to come out on DVD..maybe then people will be people get to see and judge for themselves..that this is in fact a keeper
