In this blow `em up, shoot `em up, killing humans world of hollywood entertainment comes a gentle breeze of a film about real people just trying to get along in a remotely beautiful place. What a lovely film. AB

Loved every minute of it. This is what real movies should be.

Was only a glance of what it could have been. "The Rock" is much more than what was shown. "Lord-Tunderin`-By". Amongst other discrepencies, the actors did not quite have the Newfie accent.

was a movie that the actors and caricatures made it all the more worth while to see.c

**yawn** Maybe Spacey should have put the same gusto into this movie as he did giving Couric & Alman the finger (actually, with both hands) when he lost the award at this past Globes. Sore loser?? Just proves Miramax can`t buy an award.. 45 million to make a movie being shown in 450 theaters. sad
