I thought Nic Cage's daughter in the film was hot back then. I was only seventeen at the time so it wasn't a problem. Finding out she wasn't really his brought the tears out. But it was still enjoyable.

A warm heart felt performance by Nicolas Cage. A must see. I normally don't cry at movies, but this one kinda touched my heart. ☆☆☆☆☆
