Like Jaws, I just can't figure out why this movie influenced so many people. I received my scuba certification around the time Jaws was released. The movie was so hockie that it did not stop me from diving or fear sharks in such a way that it could only be described as paranoya (sp?). So it is with the movie a River Runs Through It. A few fly fishing scenes and somehow people are moved (driven) to start fly fishing in numbers never seen before or since the movie.

Brad Pitt can be a good actor at times. I liked him in Interview With a Vampire and Oceans Eleven. But there are times like in this movie he is really bad! Craig Sheffer on the other hand was very good. I liked his character. If only they had paired him with a worthy actor it would have made this okay movie worth renting again.

I just could not get passed Brad Pitt's terrible acting to really enjoy or understand the movies mass appeal.
