This film is entertaining but it slightly wears thin of what expected. But John Travolta performance keeps the movie intact.... Full review

As a typical male.....I do not like movies that were meant to be chick flicks. But, I did find this movie entertaing and very worthwile. Travolta plays a smalltown simpleton who witnesses a flash of light on his birthday. This results... Full review

One of my all-time favorite sleeper films. I loved it. Actually my favorite Travolta film of all time... Just edging out his Saturday Night Fever and Michael roles. Also a good job by Kyra Sedgwick and Forrest Whittaker. And Robert Duval... Full review
