This movie started out lame but the ending made up for it.
Bill Cobbs, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mimi Cecchini
Ray Liotta stars as a talented medical intern whose life is stalled due to his devotion to a sweet-natured but retarded twin brother (Tom Hulce). This touching film by Robert M. Young (The Ballad o...( read more
)) may sound like a dreary, made-for-television potboiler, but it is full of interesting moments as Hulce's character--a garbage collector--follows his curiosity about the world and his sibling's new girlfriend (Jamie Lee Curtis). Young really works the bond between the two men: at one point he takes an overhead shot of the brothers showering, and it resembles what they must have looked like together as babies sharing the same womb. Hulce and Liotta are great together; it is easy to believe in every emotion they share. --Tom Keogh

July 26, 2008A very compelling drama that has me slacked jawed from the beginning. Ray Liotta's signature fast-tempered drama is superb. His opening scene was excellent and very significant to the hardship and struggles veering around the corner. Tom Hulce is always fantastic and as the dim-w...( read more)

October 31, 2007Hulce delivers a blow. Watching this and Amadeus will make you really pissed that he left acting. Liotta works too.

October 15, 2007Dominick and Eugene features wonderful performances by Ray Liotta and Tom Hulce. Hulce and Liotta star as brothers - one is mentally challenged and one is a medical intern. I felt that Jamie Lee Curtis (who played another intern and Loitta's love interest) seemed a little out of...( read more)
