GRAND CANYON. The season's Nice Try Award goes to Lawrence Kasdan. As director and co-writer of this rambling comedy-drama, he tackles big issues (race relations, infidelity, mid-life malaise, crime) with some soaring ingenuity and the help of an attractive cast (Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Mary-Louise Parker).
