Bogus—sweet—easily
earns its request for viewing, but needs some mental involvement to follow the
storyline. Good presentation backed with the skills of Gerard Depardieu, Whoopi Goldberg, and Haley Joel Osment. The script is well written and the acting is realistic. Great work for Director Norman Jewison.
