I honestly do not know what is wrong with the average IMDB voter to have rated this movie 5.8 (as of 6 Oct 2002). That is a rating deserved for movies like Scooby-Doo and Face-Off and other mindless pap that's forced on us by a sold out Hollywood with no stories left to tell and a numb audience with no desire for tales of faith and life. I know that's why I repeatedly avoid any movie that appears to have an advertising budget rivaling a presidential election campaign. Fortunately word of mouth still reveals the classics and the weekend box-office does not. That was the case with golden heart-felt movies that have withstood the test of time such as "It's A Wonderful Life" and hopefully time will reveal this movie to be a much better gem than what it is currently seen for. It's a travesty that most other voters probably can't even conceptualize what I'm talking about. For those of you who are considering this movie, disregard the thoughtless and meaningless comments most other voters have written about this movie, go see it, and save your soul. To the rest of you, Scooby-dooby doo!
