Very, um stylish

Rating: 2/10 (28 March 2002)

A dumbed-down `La Traviata' meets a dumbed-down `Gold Diggers of 1933', at 80 mph. There were no survivors.
For a while I tried to see it as a satire of recent Hollywood movies, puerile stories papered over with million-dollar production values. But I realised by the end that it just was a puerile story papered over with million-dollar production values. You can't call it a triumph of style over substance, because there is no triumph here. It is just an unsuccessful assault by style on substance. I'll give it 2/10 because bits of it would have made a good rock video.
