The plot of this glossy remake of a based-on-fact story leaves much to be desired - pacing is poor and too many situations just don't hold up. Most performances are good but its Jody Fosters film all the way. A big budget was allocated to this production but somehow it never looks as convincing as it should. Romantics might enjoy the situations but anyone looking for believability might be better off seeking out the original. Still, good entertainment for the easily pleased.
