Back in the 90's, Val Kilmer was a respected actor. Unfortunately, nowadays he seems more involved in average flicks. Too bad because I think he is very talented. This movie is a good example.

Like a lot of actor-helmed vehicles, this one is loaded with big name walk-ons. They work, but at the same time, they disapoint. None of the supporting/bit characters are on the screen enough to make enough of an impact.

"Pleasant View Ave." is chock-full of trite and truths to life--the lead that seems to be born into the hard-luck life, the abusive, alcoholic S.O.B. father, the weak” read more
