A soap, but a good one.
2 April 1999 | by (San Diego, CA, USA) – See all my reviews

Caught this film by accident some years ago in a hospital waiting room. It's a soap, for sure, but I was unexpectedly impressed by the acting and the direction, which made the teary script work far better than it had a right to. A thoroughly, impressively professional job all around!
