Norman Jewison usually is a commanding storyteller, but In Country is a film with two stories that fail to add up to something greater. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- In essence, In Country is a well-turned variation on the quest to find a father that shows up in the folk tales of almost any culture. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- There's a decency about this movie that's almost palpable. It's not trying to pump us up with false jingoism or the sins of the past. Jewison, a Canadian, probably approaches the entire subject with a mediatory mood. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Filmmaker Norman Jewison does a nice job of establishing the small town (and its myriad of denizens) in which Lloyd's affable character resides... Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- This is no tribute to the war dead, but an unthinking betrayal of them -- they've been drafted again, this time to supply a climax to a second-rate tearjerker. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The scene at the memorial is one of the film's best, but director Jewison fails to find in it anything close to the level of emotional force that the same scene in Mason's book has. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Seventeen-year-old Samantha (Emily Lloyd) lives in Hopewell, Kentucky with her Uncle Emmett (Bruce Willis), a quiet, laid-back veteran of Vietnam suffering from post-traumatic stress. Samantha's father was killed in Vietnam when he was 19-years-old, and her mother Irene (Joan Allen) has remarried. Samantha finds some old photographs of her father, and she becomes obsessed with finding out more about him. Irene, who has moved to Lexington with her second husband, wants Samantha to move in with them and go to college. But Samantha would rather stay with Uncle Emmett and try to find out more about her father.
