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.
