The film contains a moving performance by Ms. Sobieski (“Joan of Arc”), but Klein’s Kelly is so selfish and inconsiderate, he’s downright unlikable. It is Jasper who learns life lessons and reveals a true loving nature for Samantha. There are mostly good family relations and, for once, parents are not portrayed as insensitive boobs. Unfortunately, there is no spiritual guidance. Jasper misuses Christ’s name in one scene, indicating that he’s not very religious, and Samantha comes up with an ethereal explanation of what Heaven might be like, making you wonder if she believes in the Bible’s explanation of the afterlife. The young couple consummates their love in one scene. Although this is a part of life, Hollywood all too often treats sexual situations recklessly, and without consequences.
