Starring Clare Dane, et al. Released to DVD on February 15, 2000.

Claire Danesí character actually speaks the following line of dialogue in Brokedown Palace: "Prison wasnít so bad, I mean, Iíd had worse haircuts." No amount of commentary or criticism that I could offer could possibly top the insight into this movie that that single line of dialogue has to give. On-screen prison life hasnít been this tolerable and poorly depicted since Ernestís trip there in Ernest Goes to Jail. Danes ought to fire her agent for allowing her to appear in Brokedown Palace, the only movie she could possibly have starred in that would make her performance in ë99ís The Mod Squad look thoughtful and deep.
