Reviews for The Rainmaker
Pretty entertaining for the most part -- even if you'll be laughing at the movie as much as you are with it.
Playing yet another spinster, Katharine Hepburn is too old (49) for the part of the tomboy in Joseph Andrew's poorly directed film that suffers from its theatrical sensibility.
