Though this isn't a great movie, it is heartwarming and it certainly shows that Natalie Portman can act. It was one of those that I somehow missed, though I would have been right in the target demographic when it came out. I finally watched it now since James Frain (Forney) showed up on last season of True Blood as the delightfully demented vampire Franklin. I was surprised by how much I liked this. The cast is great and the story, though sort of cliched by now, is pretty touching. But, I have to say - Americus? Really?
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
