- "Spring Forward"
(Reviewed December 10, 2000)
- This is a fine little film that is mostly dialog between two characters, Ned Beatty as a close-to-retirement parks-and-recreation worker, and Liev Schreiber as his new just-outta-jail
assistant. Other people occasionally wander in, but the best scenes are "two guys talkin' 'bout life in general." There's not really a plot as such. In fact, when a dramatic development involving other
characters rears its head toward the end of the movie, the scene seems contrived and unnecessary.
All in all, not the kind of movie that makes people leap off their couches and race to the multiplexes. But if you are flipping around on TV a few months from now and land on this movie, you definitely will
watch it to the end.
Back Row Grade: B+
