the movie 
:
This is the one Bill Pullman movie that eluded me for the longest
time. This is the only one in his list of movies that I hadn't
seen and couldn't get a hold of in any way shape or form. Finally
it played on the Lifetime network a few months ago. I taped it
while I was at work and couldn't wait to get home to watch it
only to find out that in a two hour movie (including
commercials), Bill shows up in the movie finally one hour and
twenty minutes into it and believe me by then I was ready to give
up. I realize this is a made for TV movie, but it was really slow
moving and boring. The 1 star I gave it is for Bill's performance
which is good as usual and saved my VHS tape from destruction. He
plays a war hero returning home to a rocky relationship with his
father, a loving mother, and a son he barely knows played by
Doogie Howser himself, Neil Patrick Harris. Bill's role is brief
but touching and there's a great scene between Bill and Neil
Patrick Harris out in the woods. Watch for it to reappear on
Lifetime. I know for a fact it has been on twice on that network
in the last half of a year--and then fast forward through the
first hour and twenty minutes!! Linda (4shoops@usaor.net) gives the
movie :
Even though Bill's part was in the last half hour of the movie, I
liked the story very much. Sauce gives the movie :
This movie was so..so but Bill Pullman shines through.When he
emerges from the bus his face is a beautifull total blank as to
who all these people are and why he is there. A marvelous
marvelous actor. Sure wish he were available and I was a much
younger person. WOW! What a lucky wife he has. Liked the way he
handled the child in ID4...proving he must also be a marvelous
Dad. Yum. Saw Lost Highway. Stay away from that type of
film...not your type nor the publics either. Too weird and did
nothing for your fans.
