Brittany Murphy was better than the movie

Rating: 6/10 (10 April 2000)

This movie had too many cliches in it - the characters, especially the scenery-chewing by Jolie, did not evoke any sympathy at all. The best performance was by Brittany Murphy as Daisy - she got into my head and she was mesmerzing and I have not forgotten her since seeing this movie a month ago. It seems a shame that all this attention is being heaped on the wrong performance in this movie. Winona was okay, and I enjoyed Clea DuVall very much too. The movie itself was not that great, but I never tire of hearing Petula Clark sing "Downtown", so I will give it some credit for that.
