Product Description
Best Actor Oscar® nominee* Tom Hulce (Amadeus) is outstanding in this heartwarming triumph of feel-good filmmaking. This "astonishing" (Toronto Sun) "spellbinding" (L.A.

Working as a garbage man "Nicky" manages to support himself and his brother Eugene (Ray Liotta Heartbreakers) a med student who's always watched over him. But when Eugene's ambitions open a door for him at Stanford and he develops an interest in a fellow student (Jamie Lee Curtis) Nicky's worst fears are realized. Can the two of them forge ahead with separate lives when they've depended on each other for so long?Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 027616868282 Manufacturer No: 1002628
Amazon.com essential video
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 of Gregorio Cortez) 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
