Saw this small movie last night courtesy of netflix. River Phoenix, who I hadn't seen before was amazingly good. Even Judd Hirsch, who i always look at as the man from taxi was good. Can't remember the name of the lead actress but she was a TV actor and played well.
Better than Shark tale. D
Just saw this post Annie, Christine Lahti.?... something is her name.
I love this film and have it on DVD. It never fails to make me cry when she has lunch with her Dad...
Fabulous.
