Lines: 13 Finally got to see "The Coca-Cola Kid", a film I had been looking forward to seeing, largely because it stars Eric Roberts, a young actor I really like. What a disappointment! This was directed by the man who last gave us "Montenegro" (which I never saw). The only thing I could think was that he was trying to combine 'Local Hero' and "Comfort and Joy", two Bill Forsythe films, and failed abysmally. The story of some guy trying to bring Coke to a certain region of Australia was absolutely pointless and boring, in my opinion. If you don't have lots of time to see movies and have to pick and choose, I'd avoid this one.
