Mike Myers' bang-on Steve Rubell is probably the only reason to rent this film.

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 1999)

I watch about 10 to 30 films a month, from mainstream to independent features, and what qualifies as a great film, to me, is its ability to capture my attention every time I watch it. In the film's defense, I didn't dislike it. Ryan Philippe was tolerable, as was most of the cast, including Neve Campbell. The best way to describe this film is unspectacular, as good an effort as it was. Myers, though, is the obvious jewel of this picture. Despite the mediocrity of this film, his performance was Oscar-caliber, and if anything, the Academy, not to mention The Hollywood Foreign Press, seriously underestimated his performance. His words could've been written a little better (Mark Christopher is to blame for that; don't blame Myers), but Myers delivered them with perfection. Myers, in my opinion, should take a hiatus from comedies and/or sequels to concentrate on dramatic performances, for he is very-well established, despite the mediocrity that surrounds him.
