Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that numerous opportunities had been wasted to make the film more interesting. It was suggested that Will will see her late mother in Charlotte, but that this strand was not sufficiently worked out. Berardinelli wrote that the film offered viewers only brief moments of satisfaction, but otherwise disappointed them.

Awards

Richard Gere and Winona Ryder were nominated for the Golden Raspberry in 2001.
