Trivia / The Journey of Natty Gann

• Acclaimed Flop: Despite underperforming at the box office (grossing $9.7 million on a budget of $8 million), The Journey of Natty Gann was well-received by critics (Siskel and Ebert both gave the film two thumbs up; and the film has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 66% rating on Metacritic). Critics praised the actors' performances (John Cusack and Meredith Salenger) and the film's portrayal of Depression-era life, yet they occasionally lamented its slow pace and corniness.
