The Deep End Of The Ocean was a movie that was supposed to bring tears from people's eyes but the director failed to do so and it sunk in the ocean after thirty minutes after it left port, meaning after it started. The Deep End Of The Ocean starred Treat Williams, Michelle Pfieffer, and Jonathan Jackson among others. The cast billing is better than the film itself; and that says a lot for the writers and director. I was disappointed in Michelle Pfieffer, I thought she would do a decent job. I was mistaken; she was so selfish and wouldn't listen to anyone who thought her son, Ben was alive. This is just another movie about a kidnapping, no real mystery or suspense to speak of or no real tears came from my face. I mean if the director wants to make a movie surrounding this type of situation I would think that there should be more sentimental moments and cut out the arguments with the child that was kidnapped about what he should and should not do. The only thing that people should bring is a bag so they could put it over their heads to avoid watching it. Treat Williams really is the only actor worth recognizing in this bad mess they call a movie; though, there are good parts in this movie. Williams, your typical villain, plays Pat Cappadora the husband and father who keeps the family together after Ben was kidnapped. When, the mother (Pfieffer) was near a breakdown it was the father who held everything together and eventually was the one who snapped his wife into reality again. My other favorite scene occurred between the two brothers because the older one blames himself for not holding Ben's hand tighter. Ben told his brother that it was alright. I wouldn't force this film on anyone but it wasn't all that bad because I found that it did have its moments.
