Bring in Katharine Hepburn in 1956's "The Rainmaker" to the rescue for this utterly boring film.
Glenn Close and Christopher Walken star as a couple living in the prairie faced by a terrible drought. Walken's daughter writes poetry and the boy looks like a Van Trapp member.
Conditions steadily worsen and Close flees with the children to her maiden aunts. The latter could easily qualify as the daffy Brewster Sisters from "Arsenic and Old Lace" fame. Naturally, one is immediately able to tell that Close is with child.
The film is so dull that you actually root for the fires that erupt along the parched field and barn.
The rain eventually comes and Walken comes back for his family. They all head back to the farm and the film mercifully ends.
