BUDDY (Theatrical Release USA 1997)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Buddy—terrific, rich, and fully complete stage settings—presents an unusual story based partially on truth. The movie may not be for everyone. But, its solidly built foundation, good writing and exceptional acting, make it worth a watch. It’s good to see Robbie Coltrane in one of his earlier films along with Alan Cummings and Rene Russo.
