Original and captivating

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2000)

Bravo! This is a brilliantly original and captivating tale. It creates its own world and thoroughly believes it. Cameron Diaz is absolutely amazing in it, and Catherine Keenan's chemistry with her is sizzling. John Cryer makes a great anti-hero for the piece, and Malkovich himself is probably the only actor who cold pull it off. He should have won a special Oscar for this. And, what an astoundly perfect use of Orson Bean. I watched it 3 straight times, I was so enfatuated with this truly brilliant piece of work.
