Yeah, it wasn't all that brilliant. But I did enjoy it, the characters were fun and interesting . . Raul for example. A solid 3 star-er.

A pivotal film in cultivating my film tastes, in that it immediately identified a genre of film that I knew I despised - the uninspiring inspirational story where one person can change the lives of everyone around them (and learn something about themselves in the process!) - ala Mr. Holland, Dead Poets, Lean on Me. I think the only movie I've enjoyed (and how!) of this ilk is the great Hard Nelson.
