It took a while for me to get a copy of the DVD but viewed Marilyn Hotchkiss today and I feel it has the possibilities of a Classic but felt it was over saturated with unrelated scenes, name actors, i.e. John Goodman, and Marisa Tomei and an unbelievably cheesy accident scene which distracted me from concentrating on the marvelous portrayals by Robert Carlyle, Sonja Braga, Elden Henson and Donnie Wahlberg. I felt there were much too many flashbacks of the nostalgia of childhood , which I found boring and superfluous and the bereavement/ therapy scenes were just included to add weight to the project, could have worked but none of the testimonials convinced me one iota of these men actually grieving. It make me wonder if it's the American Male or all Males who have trouble expressing grief and heartbreak without trepidation.
Pity, I waited 06 months to view this film because the synopsis, which sounded appealing and has universal appeal, however, It's like the old proverb, "When too much cargo is placed in craft, all sinks to the bottom."
