Little Buddha (1993)
2/10
great story made trite by bad acting...
18 June 1999
don't get me wrong. i like, yes like, keanu reeves--for SOME roles. this was not one of them. how is it that the movie makers could find ethnics to play the rest of the cast but not find a beautiful tibetan or indian (namely ramon tikaram from kama sutra)to play siddhartha? keanu makes his character conceited rather than innocent and disenchanted. he needs to just stop trying accents (check out dracula 1992 for more evidence to this fact) bridget fonda is great as the all encompassing mom that is left out of her child's important spiritual developement. chris isaak surprised the heck out of me with his acting ability. had character developemant was well timed but casual. the cinematography is lovely and dreamy. the story line itself is moving, too bad the center of the movie depends on the developement of siddhartha...
