Risible and jejune

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2004)

Some films make you laugh, others make you cry; some make you cuddle with your guy and help further the illusion that you will stay together after the kids are grown. Some films make you ask...why? Others: WHY!!!!???? Some bring you to a deeper understanding of life, love and the quest for...whatever that SUV is a substitute for. Others bring you to your very knees, as you stare blithely into the corroded and opaque corridors of your very soul with a Kafkaesque gasp of mortality held for one epiphanous illusion-shattering moment.
This film is none of the above. This film is doo-doo. It's an insult to the landfills it should be dumped in. The only way it could work is if the hooker turned out to be a transvestite, and (as far as we know) that would require a cast change. Get a grip and go watch something decent with Sean Penn, Lily Taylor or Christopher Walken.
