The
Moviedata Review :-
I thought
George Clooney
deserved his Golden
Globe for this,although
it would have been an
easy part for him to
play.
It's well produced and
directed,with some
breathtaking Hawaiian
scenes.
Some Clooney fans may
find the story line a bit
depressing like I did,but
never-the-less it's a
good interesting
movie.8/10.

George
Clooney entered
the world with
showbusiness coursing
through his veins. Born
May 6, 1961 in Lexington,
Kentucky, the future E.R.
headliner appeared at the
tender age of five on his
father's Cincinnati talk
program, The Nick Clooney
Show. In his youth,
Clooney honed a sharp
interest in sports -
particularly baseball -
but by adulthood, Clooney
launched himself as an
onscreen presence,
seemingly without effort.
Beginning with a string
of television
commercials, then signed
with Warner Brothers
