A great film that has gone unnoticed lately., 4 April 2001
10/10
Author: judypriv from New Jersey

This is one of those films that I had heard of and meant to see but didn't until recently. What an excellent film. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and the actors. Take some time and watch this film. A wonderful portrayal of two young men who are very different but turn out to more alike then they could ever imagine.
