Strikes too many false notes on the dramatic side to add up to a satisfying emotional experience.

The film's perfectly watchable, but it's never more than that.

The movie duplicates exactly my experience with the book, although I must say I was thankful to be spared serial outbreaks of hearty Greek dancing.

Cage's ancestors may have come from the Old Country, but he's no more Italian than Franco-American SpaghettiOs.

The movie's craft is dead and dutiful. It's an Oscar machine.
