Don't bother. If this movie reflects Molly's Talent, oh boy!
26 October 1998 | by Mike-369 – See all my reviews

Thoroughly predictable plot. Poor acting and a real snoozer. Characters never fully developed and I kept thinking, yah right! There was nothing about Molly that made her redeeming. For all the money her husband won, one had to stop and think, is she really worth it - certainly not her acting.
