Review

two sad biopics tonight. this one’s about a detroit inventor who comes up with the intermittant windshield wiper and tries to sell the idea to ford, but they steal his design and dump him. he becomes so obsessed by his quest for justice that it tears his family apart. the end gives you mixed feelings, but suffice it to say that you feel for greg kinnear’s character. they do a good job of developing his character as well as the chemistry that the family has. i guess there is some justice in the world, though, because ford isn’t exactly rolling in the dough anymore.
