"The Whole Wide World" , an old school melodrama, tells of a simple school teacher in 1930's Texas (Zellweger) and her relationship with pulp fiction writer Bob Howard (D'Onofrio) who created such characters as Conan the barbarian and Kull the conqueror. A simple tale of two people, there's little meat on the bones of this flick though it is a sincere and earnest drama which tiptoes quietly through the relationship of the two protags in fine style. "The Whole Wide World" is a chick flick which will play best with more mature audiences. (B)
