Robin Williams is wonderful in almost every role he's ever starred in. I think critics bashed this film when it was originally released. If you love Robin Williams though, then you will find this lesser known role deserves much more respect and could stand alongside his more Iconic performances.

This movie moved me to tears. Robin Williams is a resident of a ghetto, and when Jews have to start handing over their possessions, Jackob starts making up stories just to keep up everyone's hopes up. Wasn't expecting a role such as this for Robin Williams, I grew up watching Mork & Mindy.

The cast the story the music it deserved every award a movie could be given and shall remain one of the best movies not only in my heart but in the heart of many.
