Mass Production Chewing Gum for the Eyes

Rating: 4/10 (6 September 2000)

I know that people are desperate for entertaining cinema which is slightly more stretching then Mission Impossible 2, but this isn't it.
Julia Roberts struggles very beautifully, whilst always appearing exactly like a multi-millionairess pretending to be poor and her performance has all the depths of a puddle. In her scenes with Albert Finney she looks like a cardboard cut-out.
As for the story itself - we SHOULD be asking why no-one faced criminal charges, since all sueing a company does is pass the costs on to the consumer :-) And by the way, it's not an act of heroism to be an ambulance chasing lawyer - they have an interest too.
