Myers saves the flick

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 1999)

Yet another banal lure-of-the-big-city-eventually-disappoints-the-ambitious-small-town- boy tale. This film is saved from complete and utter mediocrity only by Mike Myers' spot-on performance as Steve Rubell. Myers, for once, does not overact or mug for the camera. Instead, he nails Rubell's essence perfectly, down to the nervous nuances of his cocaine-fueled laugh. The soundtrack pales in comparison to that of the equally dull and lower-budget "The Last Days of Disco."
