The Deep End Of The Ocean Cast
Okay, let's talk about The Deep End of the Ocean. Remember that movie? Big emotions. Lost kid. Michelle Pfeiffer crying. A lot.
The Pfeiffer Powerhouse
Michelle Pfeiffer is, let's be honest, amazing. She can cry on cue, probably while baking a perfect pie. But was she too good? Bear with me here.
Sometimes, I felt like I was watching the "Michelle Pfeiffer Show Featuring a Lost Child." Maybe that's just me. Unpopular opinion alert!
Treat Williams: Underrated Dad Material?
Now, Treat Williams. He played Ben, the dad. Good old, reliable Ben.
He was, dare I say, kind of…boring? But maybe that's the point. He was the steady anchor in a sea of Pfeiffer-level drama.
Still, I think he deserved more screen time. More dad moments! More fishing trips! Just me?
The Kids: Where Were They All This Time?
Vincent, the lost kid. Played by Jonathan Jackson as the older version and an adorable kid whose name escapes me right now. Sorry, little dude!
Jackson did a great job portraying the lost and confused Vincent. He nailed the "fish out of water" vibe. I'll give him that.
But, honestly, I was more invested in his journey than the entire family's grief. Harsh, I know.
Who's Cary?
Then there's Cary, the younger brother, played by Ryan Merriman. He was the forgotten child!
Poor Cary. Always in Vincent's shadow. He was pretty angsty.
He really played his role well, overshadowed and all. Anyone else felt he was just...there?
The Supporting Cast: The Glue Holding It Together
Whoopi Goldberg showed up as the detective. Whoopi just elevated everything she's in. She has some great scenes, though her role felt kinda small.
Goldberg's the kind of actress who can deliver wisdom with a side of sass. More Whoopi, always.
Brenda Strong played the neighbor. She was good too, but forgettable. Sorry, Brenda!
Final Verdict: An Emotional Rollercoaster (With a Few Bumps)
The Deep End of the Ocean is a tearjerker. No doubt about it. You will cry.
The cast is talented, that's for sure. Pfeiffer shines (maybe a little too brightly?).
But, sometimes, the supporting characters get lost in the shuffle. A little more balance, and this movie would have been a masterpiece. Okay, I'm done. Don't @ me.
