Unworthy of the attention it garners.

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2002)

Two words come to mind: manipulative, and pandering. Even Judge's "Office Space" had a better quitting scene! Critically ignored, and publicly maligned, Fincher's "Fight Club" -- released the same year -- was a better effort than this... I've a feeling (mostly male) viewers give high marks, based on one criteria: Mena Suvari's breasts -- which, much like the film itself, are underwhelming... as the more sensible among us realize. Annette Benning's performance herein is naught but a harsh irritant; compared to other parts she's played, Spacey seems asleep at the wheel. Finally, might I suggest a quick perusal of IMDb's Top 21-250 -- do any of these films deserve a spot in line behind this? No. No, they do not.
