When Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow share the screen together in this heartfelt melodrama by Don Roos, I am taken aback. First of all, how could Hollywood be responsible for making a powerful film that relies on sensational dialogue and understated values? Second of all, how could Affleck give a great, not just a good, performance? Paltrow I expect to be brilliant, but Bennie? Third of all, why did Miramax not promote this well enough? Throw your skepticism aside and take a shot at this movie. It may surprise you!
