"Greenlight" would be lucky to get this film today, 1 January 2004
7/10
Author: ghigau from Washington, DC

A very good portrayal of life with kharma. One's choices and actions can increase the chance of bad things happening to good people. If you marry someone, even as attractive as Meg Ryan, before you even know if they are insane, beware the outcome. I sure hope Tracy Pollen decides to avoid loser boyfriends. She should hook up with someone sane, say Michael J. Fox...
