What Ever Happened to Baby Comodus?

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2000)

You've probably seen this film or you will in the near future regardless of what this review says. With that established, probably the most fascinating thing about this film is that it plays out almost exactly like _What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?_ for men. The conflict between Phoenix and Crowe for the approval/authority of the father figure (at least on Phoenix's side) parallels very closely with that of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in the earlier film. Seriously. Watch both of them and then try to say that you can't possibly imagine Phoenix breaking out into that creepy "I've Written a Letter to Daddy" song. Ugh.
