	Salon Entertainment \| As Good as It Gets
		Instead, it's an almost-convincing imaginary universe, one where Brooks has worked for a long time, in which the virtuous are rewarded, the wicked are revealed to be the wounded and the wounded (which is to say everybody) are healed by love.
		I guess Carol isn't actually a virgin, since she's got a preadolescent son who's always wheezing asthmatically or barfing into wastebaskets in the background, but you wouldn't know it from her behavior.
		Carol is equal parts Cinderella -- she can't get dates to stay overnight, what with the spit-up on her dress and her Nosy Parker mother in the next room -- and the princess who screws up her courage to kiss the ugliest frog in the pond.

	The Good Son review (1993) Macaulay Culkin - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Perhaps the rating was due to the fact that Culkin's biggest fans are primarily children, many of whom had already learned to emulate his behavior from the Home Alone films, and parents would have been concerned about the possibility of kids acting like their role model when he plays an amoral psychopath.
		Regardless of the ratings decision, The Good Son isn't really a film that strikes home with any particular audience, except save for schlock thriller junkies, as the boring story and lack of quality scares keep this one firmly grounded by routine formula plotting and overwhelming predictability.
		The production of The Good Son was troubled from the get-go, originally intended to be made back in the late 1980s, when such fare was popular, with such films as Fatal Attraction and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle scoring high returns at the box office.

	The Good Son (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Good Son is a 1993 thriller film directed by Joseph Ruben and written by Ian McEwan.
		Henry's mother, Susan, is too distraught over the death of her second son Richard (whom Henry, unknownst to his mother, drowned when the former was a baby because Henry felt Richard was getting too much attention) to actually listen to Mark.
		The Good Son is somewhat based on the The Bad Seed.

	Son of the Pink Panther - Movie Rental Review
		According to the movie credits it seems they shot a sequence in which Inspector Clouseau's ghost materializes, but it was never used in the finished film.
		This 1993 effort focused on replacing Sellers with Italian superstar Roberto Benigni, who had not yet made his masterpiece LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL and was mainly known as a high-decibel clown in European comedies, to the point that he even did some one-man-show comedy-concert movies.
		Sure enough, the cop's mother (longtime starlet Claudia Cardinale, who played in previous Pink Panther movies, but as a different character) confirms that she had a single sexual liason with the great Inspector Clouseau, and Jacques is the result.

	Good Son, The (1993) - Movie Reviews from TopTenReviews.com
		I could accept that a child might be pushed over the edge into pathological behavior by a trauma (the drowning of Henry's infant brother); I could accept that parents still in shock over more...
		From the red-clay backdrops of Nevada to the frosty winterscapes of New England, The Good Son is beautifully photographed (by cinematographer John Lindley), but that's one of its few noteworthy points.
		Watching "The Good Son," I asked myself that question, hoping that perhaps the next scene would contain the answer, although it never did.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Malcolm X
		January 25, 1993 -- ``Malcolm X'' is one of those films, like ``Howard's End'' that you go to see because it is good for you.
		Sometimes going to see a movie that is good for you is like eating a food that is good for you, but that you don't like, broccoli, for instance, or like seeing ``Howard's End,'' a movie experience not greatly different than a visit to the dental hygienist to have your gums bled.
		The son of a preacher, he soon becomes a preacher himself, for Elijah Muhammed, who is wonderfully played by Al Freeman Jr.

		Whatever else it is, "The Good Son" is certainly not a film for children.
		Ruben said one of the reasons he wanted to direct "The Good Son" was because Culkin was already signed on to star.
		As for "The Good Son" being released in the midst of heavy competition in theaters right now, Ruben says, "If a director tells you he doesn't care about (the first weekend's box-office performance), he's lying.

	"The Good Son" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		It seems like a good arrangement, because Mark and his cousin Henry (Culkin) are about the same age and can keep each other company.
		Content: Although the disturbing premise of a young psychopath is handled in more a serious than an exploitative style, there are plenty of standard movie devices like last-second rescues.
		The Evanses seem like good parents; there's no hint of what they may have done to foster Henry's condition.

	Teen Movie Critic
		The movie does go a little overboard from time to time (but would it be a Carrey film if it didn't), and there is still the usual problem of Carrey having no solid supporting characters in his films.
		What makes this a relatively good film is the great production design, beautiful score, some well-dramatized moments and an excellent performance by Von Sydow in the lead.
		What makes this good is the towering productions and performances, all held together by De Mille's skillful directorial touch.

	Lycos Movies - Celebrity - Rory Culkin
		Known as "the littlest Culkin," Rory Culkin was born the seventh and youngest child in the notorious Culkin clan.
		He also bore a striking resemblance to his famous older brother Macaulay, which allowed him to get his foot in the door acting in his brother's films "The Good Son" (1993) and "Richie Rich" (1994).
		These parts however, could barely be considered roles (especially "The Good Son" where Rory Culkin appeared only in a photograph) and did not allow him to showcase his talents.

		Of course, the movie can't be blamed for this; it is just a movie and it would be distracting if we actually did hear Mark's thoughts.
		The movie does not have time to show the darkest sides of Henry and the book makes him more evil and more heartless.
		The movie is dark and exciting, but it is not often scary.

		This is also one of Elijah Wood's better movies also; he does a much better job here than he did in LOTR; here he portrays Henry's fearful, sweet cousin, Mark, who recently lost his beloved mom and becomes one of evil, scheming Henry's victims.
		I saw this movie in the theater when it came out, and never thought it got the recognition it really deserved.
		I liked this movie but when I saw the original movie The Bad Seed I realized that this movie does not even compare although it has wonderful performances by the children the adults seemed to be trying a little to hard to be a good actor and it just was not working for them.

	Joseph Ruben Films
		The two main troubles are, first, that it can't seem to decide what kind of movie it wants to be and, second, that it's basically a TV-movie with a soon-to-be star instead of a used-to-be star.
		It starts out as a typical "abused wife" tale, then tries to mix a romance with a fugitive-pursuit, "have you seen this woman?" storyline, neither of which is very interesting and both of which are entirely predictable.
		I'm sure its continued life on television is due to the fact that it is indistinguishable from the other movies playing before and after it on Lifetime.

	The Austin Chronicle Film Listings
		While this allows for some Oedipal exploitation, this movie is generally like Ruben's others: Model family member is really a murderous fiend.
		Culkin offers up his wickedness with the cool, detached air of a bureaucrat and covers his tracks with an unctuousness that suggests his role model was Eddie Haskell, not Jack the Ripper.
		Claude Chabrol's latest film is based on a Ruth Rendell novel and, though not one of his best films, is still a good reminder of the madness that sometimes lurks in plain sight.
