Where's the plot?!

Rating: 4/10 (11 August 2000)

It's no wonder that none of the trailers gave any inkling of this stupid plot. Those were base purely on flash and sex appeal, but I personally don't even really like Ms. Piper Perabo's face (or acting for that matter). The whole stage fright thing got really old. Besides, they never conveyed that she had worked hard enough to even deserve this success. They already expected us to start bawling just three minutes in when Violet parts with her friend outside the apartment. I guess her authentic Jersey accent is supposed sway us. But I don't even know where to start on that tollbooth u-turn scene... As for everything but the silly bar gimmick: canned and cookie cutter. They must be using some kind of Madlib-like movie templates when they come up with this stuff. (Witty pun:___Frozen_Assets___) I'll save my worst rating for something truly horrible. This is nothing different from a hundred other movies we've all seen.
