Why?

Rating: 2/10 (19 July 1999)

This movie had across-the-board first-rate acting from Alan Cumming and Sidney Pollack to Tom and Nicole. Everyone seemed to be fully involved in who their characters were, and you could tell some time had been spent developing this. But it still turned out to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen! I can give you a plot summary in maybe four steps:
Tom Cruise walks around New York to one of two locations and spends ludicrous amounts of money.
Tom Cruise says he's a doctor.
Tom Cruise thinks of Nicole Kidman.
Repeat if necessary until you have thoroughly wasted 2 1/2 hours of the audience's time.
The soundtrack was just some maniac on a piano banging a note at a time as hard as he could. The only noticeable song, Chris Isaak's "Bad, Bad Thing" was a bit of irony in that his characters never actually DO bad things. They just think about them or watch, and I'm sorry, but that's terribly boring. I will do my best to remember this film for the stellar performances and not the depressing technical failures. 2 out of 10
