...millennial No plays, totally stylized, totally predictable, but comforting in their familiarity," says TIME's Richard Schickel. "Whether the threat to domestic tranquillity is a ferocious shark, invading spacemen or a rogue volcano (as in Dante's Peak), it reassures us that nice people, if they are smart, brave and quick on their feet, will somehow survive." Writer Leslie Bohem and director Roger Donaldson brush briskly through the standard scientific and romantic blather.

How brave!"). For 90 minutes, Sweeney, strolling demurely around a living-room set, simply reminisces about her family, focusing mostly on the last eight months of her brother's life, when he moved into her Los Angeles home so she could nurse him.
