Not Bad for a Rainy Day, 27 July 2006
5/10
Author: Maddie (maddieweber) from United States

I've seen worse. I bought this movie for $2.00 at a garage sale because Sandra Bullock was on the cover and she's one of my favorite actresses. I watched it today because it rained - and on a rainy day you need something mindless to do.

While this movie was only worth the $2.00 that I paid for it, it did keep my interest for its entirety, which is more than I can say for some more recent movies. While the acting in some scenes was overdone, the sentiment between the characters was developed nicely.

If 'Remember the Titians' and 'West Side Story' had a baby, and then the baby fell on its head - it might appear as something like 'Who Shot Pat?'
