Julia Roberts scores again in a 4 handkerchief role
"Julia Roberts shows once again how she can take an ordinary script and turn it into a worthwhile flick. This is a great movie for one of those rainy afternoons when you don't mind a little tear here and there.No one in Hollywood can cry and hit you right in the gut like Julia. Along with Campbell Scott,who is dying from Leukemia, they both give believable performances and the music score is quite good...."
💡 Did You Know?
Julia Roberts's long red hair was mostly extensions. Her real hair was relatively short during filming.
