CRITICS OF "The Rainmaker"

rec.arts.movies.reviews

A good example of a talented filmmaker making a small miracle out of a film that was destined for drowning in mediocrity.

May 07, 2004

Time Out

This competent, anonymous legal drama (scripted by Michael Herr) is the best John Grisham adaptation yet.

February 09, 2006

Resource

Combustible Celluloid

The Rainmaker is easily the best of the Grisham movies so far, and it has touches of excellence, but it's a routine work.

May 26, 2006

Resource

Salon.com

Satisfactory mainstream entertainment, with a handful of major actors in juicy minor roles tossed in for good measure.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Looking Closer

The overbearing soundtrack, unimaginative cinematography, and indulgently tear-jerking ending ... this all adds up to a surprisingly derivative movie from Coppola.

December 06, 2004

Reeling Reviews

It's an intelligent film that doesn't cater to the usual eye-candy we face during the holiday season and is one of the best adaptations of a Grisham novel.

April 09, 2005

Resource

Film Quips Online

Grisham and Coppola (who also adapted the story for the screen) attempt to show us a piece of life, and though the lesson is a bit heavy-handed at times, it does capture the fact that things just don't always work out perfectly in the end.

February 08, 2003

Resource

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

The Rainmaker aside from being competently made is not something that stands out for being fresh.

February 06, 2004

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

Francis Ford Coppola, who wrote and directed the film, has made the most of Grisham's ground-level realism.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Variety

Coppola has never been particularly known for his comic touch, but here he seems bent on leavening the melodrama with as many laughs as possible, and they are generally honest and well-earned.

June 09, 2008

San Francisco Chronicle

Coppola adapted the novel himself, and he's done a good job of paring it down.

June 18, 2002

Resource

Los Angeles Times

Coppola has infused The Rainmaker with enough humor, character, honest emotion and storytelling style to make it one of the year's most entertaining movies.
