The problem is that neither Kidman nor Hopkins seems to know what movie they are in.

Both Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins are vastly miscast in Robert Benton's poor adaptation of Philip Roth's poignant novel, one of the few works about contempo academic battlefields.

The acting is phenomenal (especially Harris), and the film will be a nice challenge for those in search of one.

The Human Stain takes a complex work of literary art and reduces it to tasteful melodrama.
