Foul language

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2003)

Why to movie makers insist on putting foul language in movies? If they cut out all the foul language this movie would lose nothing. It seems to me that it is a cheap ploy to cover the movie maker's weakness in portraying a an artistically strong character.
From my experience, quality movies don't need such foul swearing.
Having said that, this movie is OK. The plot is a bit soft and somewhat predictable, but some of the colourful characters in it do provide some entertainment. They have risked the whole movie credibility on Julia Roberts' character, which is a big ask. She does OK, but it's hardly a riveting performance.
A somewhat American-style movie that will likely appeal to US viewers.
