Mike Myers is magic.

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 1999)

Mike Myers is magic. If only the rest of the film had even a tiny slice of that, but it doesn't. Mike so deeply immerses himself in Steve Rubell's character that you would not recognize him if you did not otherwise know. Reports of Neve Campbell's vapid performance are grossly exaggerated ... er... uh ... wait; no they're not. She's badly miscast, and demonstrates all the starpower of Disney wallpaper. Would love to trash Ryan Phillippe as many have, but personally, I think he handed in a perfectly workman-like performance. The film seems to believe that one note -- phony glamour -- will carry 90 minutes. Bad misjudgment.
