Donate the ticket money you would have spent to medical research, and stay home.

A movie like this has only one not so noble reason to exist: to make us sob. And it just doesnt deliver the goods.

A decidedly dubious early 1990s love story from Joel Schumacher. The Kenny G sax solos dont help either.

As a revival of an almost extinct genre, its a far better melodrama than, say, Dances With Wolves is a western or The Two Jakes is a film noir.
