Monica Warren:
Uh, can't really stay, I got a date, I just left word on my answering machine that I'd be over here, so I hope you don't mind if he calls.
Ethan Hawks:
No, that's fine.
Monica Warren:
Thanksgiving. Hot date. You know what I mean. I mean I wouldn't mind eating over here. I hear your old lady's a real good cook and all, but as soon as that phone rings, I gotta go.

I saw this movie about a year before Star Wars: The Phantom Menance came
out. It's an enjoyable movie, non-formulaic and with some good acting. I
particularly enjoyed Jake Lloyd's performance, which is why I looked
forward
to seeing him as Anakin Skywalker. Boy, all I can say is that direction
must
make a huge difference. He was much stiffer and forced in SW:TPM than in
this movie, in which he was natural and sweet. Worth a rental just to see
how talented this kid actually is.
