I wonder how much this might also have had to do with the casting of
Mathew Broderick. While, I enjoyed the movie I was never comfortable
with the casting of Broderick. I must add that this is nothing against
Broderick whose 'Wargames', 'Ferris Beuller...' and especially 
'The Freshman' I really enjoyed.
