Thought Provoking

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2003)

For some reason, I can't stop watching this movie. It's been on Canadian pay television for the past couple of months now, and I can't seem to turn it off. I'm not normally a big fan of Penelope Cruz, but for some reason, I find her character, Sophia, just enchanting. Jason Lee is also one of my favorite actors from the Kevin Smith movies, and I find that he's great as a leading actor, but really puts out a solid supporting role in Vanilla Sky. Cameron Diaz really shows her range as Cruise's wannabe girlfriend, a big stretch from her normal loveable roles. The plot is okay, but what really makes Vanilla Sky watchable is the performances and dialogue.
