drivel

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2003)

Now this movie is what I label as a classic.. classic example of wasted time. This is one of those films that people like to read way too much into to find a deeper, darker meaning, when it is actually what it is on the surface. Nothing. Well, two things- the same things the movies have been spewing forth since the silents- Hollywood is corrupted and life plays tricks on you. Big deal. I can't blame ABC for not wanting this on their TV line up (it was originally planned as a TV series). In my opinion, David Lynch added some minor porn sequences, which guaranteed it as a hit. The only shining moment in the whole thing was Ann Miller yelling, "If that damn dog c***s in this courtyard one more time..." Sure, this film makes you want to analyze it, but there's nothing more than what I said before. It's perfectly suited for those pseudo-intellectuals who like to think that they can unlock the mysteries of life in a 2 hour long film. My advice- go rent another Ann Miller movie, Kiss Me Kate, and see what real talent, direction, and cinematography is.
