My Giant (1998)
One lame movie.
This movie was pathetic. I had trouble even finishing it, and so did my kids. It was not the least big funny. Billy Crystal played a real slime-ball character, who did not really make any big change in his attitude by the end of the movie. Not worth watching.
Hope Floats (1998)
BORING!!
Hope Floats had a couple of touching scenes, but they were few and FAR between and really not worth waiting for. Hints at tension between the mother and her daughter were thrown in, but never developed or explained. The "popular" girl from high school coming back and needing something from people she used to treat badly could have been a very good theme, but it is dealt with very briefly and unsatisfactorily. I didn't have any sympathy for Sandra Bullock's character and found myself hoping that the guy would give up on her and find someone more worth his while.
The Gingerbread Man (1998)
A real let-down
This movie had some suspenseful moments, especially toward the middle, but in the end the movie was a big let-down. There was no surprise twist and no element of irony. I found it to be predictable and much of the storyline was not convincing as even being realistic.
