Now it's up to his best buddies Slim (Richard T.

Reviews for The Wood
Never delves much deeper into the three friends' psychology than a sitcom pilot would, though the cast try their best.
When will Epps, who was in The Mod Squad, get a picture worthy of his obvious talent?
A well-intentioned exercise in humanism... but as art or a successful narrative, the movie is ultimately empty.
