The beautiful people...the beautiful...

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 1999)

Admittedly, I rented this movie to get a glimpse of Neve Campbell and Selma Hayek doing their stuff, and of course, I was disappointed. While interesting from a sociological standpoint, this movie never really seemed to get going. The narration that helped so much at the beginning mysteriously disappeared, and the only sense of closure was the death at the end. This movie was pure eye candy, and not much of that. I would have to agree also, with the other critics, that Neve Campbell is lucky if she didn't do her career a major disservice with this part. She was stiff, which is partly due to the writing, but I saw nothing more than "Party of Five" with a somewhat better cast (although I'm not sure). Enjoy the music and the dance, because there ain't much more to this movie.
