I just saw this movie tonight. For those of you who don't know it, this is the one where Eric Stoltz breaks his neck in a hiking accident. I was hesitant to see it at first, because I always confuse Eric Stoltz with Eric Roberts, and I can't stand Eric Roberts. But I have to say, it was a pretty good movie. I can't say it didn't drag a bit (a lot). The sex scenes made it worth it.... like Stoltz hooking up with Helen Hunt in his hospital bed. That was great. Wesley Snipes was good too, although I'm sorry ladies: he doesn't lick carpet.
It was very similar to "The Men", an old movie with Marlon Brando that I've talked about on here. You could even match it up, character by character. Comparing the two, I think I liked "The Men" better... it was more concise and hit most of the devo points faster. (Yeah, I have no attention span thanks to TV.)
I thought Stoltz was great in this part. For those of you who have seen it, I really liked the scene where he breaks down and has his "epiphany". Still, I wish there were a scene where he was instructing John Travolta to give an adrenaline shot to the heart.
