Rocket Gibraltar ★★★ 1988 (PG)

On the occasion of a crusty patriarch's birthday, a large family unites on his remote estate to carry out his special birthday wish. Fine performance by Lancaster. Supported by a solid cast, overcomes a slim story, Culkin, later of “Home Alone,” is loveable as the precocious five-year-old. Picturesque Long Island scenery. 92m/C VHS, DVD . Burt Lancaster, Bill Pullman, John Glover, Suzy Amis, Macaulay Culkin, Patricia Clarkson, Frances Conroy, Sinead Cusack, Bill Martin, Kevin Spacey; D: Daniel Petrie; W: Amos Poe; M: Andrew Powell.
