I was unimpressed with the film but I really liked the novel of the same name by William Wharton.

Madcap, I have never seen the film myself. One of those that came to the theaters and went without much fuss I guess. I'd still like to see it though, sometime. How about an update on your opinion of it?

Crapgame, ahhh, the book is better than the film eh? That reminds me of an old saying: "Never judge a book by it's movie."
