Malkovich and Sinise were much more effective at making me care about the material than the book or the original film, Sweet Jesus notwithstanding. Hopefully our blogmaster will reconsider both the Summer of Animals, and waiting until then to review the '92 version.corynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-35327355536664006822011-02-18T19:27:03.034-08:002011-02-18T19:27:03.034-08:00No, it is better.

This film is fine, but feels kind of by the numbers, and isn't as emotionally involving as it should be. A 15.corynoreply@blogger.com
