Decent movie but Anne Bancroft was over the top!


Anne Bancrofts last performances were way over the top! Still not a bad little movie-started out slow and got better moving the second half.

Sean Penn was very good here.

6 out of 10.

she was great. entertaining. funny. sean penn's accent sounded like he was recovering from some recent trauma to the head. funny, too, in an unintentional way.



Golf clap? Golf clap.

Her character was over the top. Annes final films were not over the top. She played them how they should be played.

I agree. She was the best thing in the movie (and that's saying a lot, since all the actors did very well). This veteran could do no wrong. Even the smallest roles in her hands were given the best treatment possible. RIP Anne

Anne Bancroft was, and I so agree, the best thing in this movie... She was a great actress, and it shows in every film she made...So sad that she was taken so soon....
