With "Grand Canyon", our esteemed director Lawrence Kasdan brings us a rather disjointed look at the lives of a few people (and life itself overall), and how those lives intertwine with each other.
While the film has some inspired and inspiring scenes, it is rarely consistent and never reaches its promised potential. Performances are good though (except for Steve Martin who should stick to comedy), in a film that can really make you laugh, and maybe even cry. Sadly though, it does not do this enough.
Kasdan never quite achieves any real clarity or sense of purpose, in a film that ends abruptly, as though it were a pilot for a TV Series.
