This film is BLOODY awful!!!!, 1 August 1999
1/10
Author: Jeff Doyle from Coldwater, Michigan

I bought this film based on the fact that Jodie Foster was in it. I wish I would have kept the receipt. The plot drags along like a dead mule. Foster pulls off the role of a much younger girl quite well, but John Lithgow does not help the film in the least. AVOID THIS FILM!!!!!!!
