Despite an effective Jim Caviezel, this anecdotal drama never rises above the level of lightly likable. Full Review
Annette Haywood-Carter’s slow-paced film features a plethora of colorful characters and incidents that register with little dramatic impact. Full Review
A dull vanity project for the Southern highborn. Full Review
The movie’s story is limp, its romances are flightless and — despite the talented cast — its performances are toothless. Full Review
