    A harmless, fairly humorous family film about a clever mule who teams up with an elderly gold prospector (Dick Foran). Norman Foster's movie, based on the novel by Marguerite Henry and shot on location, also features Joseph Cotten, while Karl Swenson plays Theodore Roosevelt. The real star, however, is the Grand Canyon itself.

    A sentimental account of urban unease, and one that offers glib answers to the questions it raises, but at least it does raise questions.

    Outstanding

    This is movie-making at its most thoughtful, intelligent and provocative. Kevin Kline and Steve Martin turn in beautifully nuanced performances that manage to provide the comedy for which they are deservedly renowned but without the mania or slapstick, just subtle, perfectly under-stated, rich character-studies that linger long after the credits have rolled. The same goes for the rest of the cast, without exception. Well worth watching. And perhaps re-watching. Kasdan has given us another gem.

    Poor man's Crash

    Watchable film with a story line similar to but much less hard hitting than the superior Crash. Forgettable performances from most of the cast (except Danny Glover) and found Mary MacDonald very irritating to watch but that might be just me!
