“Prince of Tides,” 1 January 1998, video. This badly done Barbara Streisand vanity piece is a real embarrassment. Nick Nolte does well in several scenes, the story has some life as a gothic tale of southern depravity, and George Carlin as the gay neighbor is wonderful and really steals the show, but it is, otherwise, a waste. Streisand is unbelievable, in the truest sense of the word. She just doesn’t make it as the shrink. Totally unrealistic in style, presentation, costuming, the works. True Hollywood pabulum. Got it out of the library. What a way to start our viewing for the new year!
