Angie

Though this looks like a two boxes of Kleenex, straight forward chick flick there is enough of a story in ANGIE to make it stand out from the normal run of the mill. For starters, Geena Davis is just bloody great as the title character. Oddly enough Madonna was supposed to play the role and I can't see that as being a good thing. The second thing would be the exploration of adoption issues and how it is handled here. Stephen Rea shows up to play a downright bastard of a prick and a young a thin James Gandolfini shows off the talents he would put to such good use in THE SOPRANOS. Also on hand is fellow SOPRANO Aida Turturro who has some great one-liners here. Strong enough piece of work to please both the men and women.
