A Strange And Fascinating Story
This is a different story and definitely interesting. The movie is listed as a comedy but it's more of a drama. Yes, the comedy is there but it's dark humor and there is violence and tragedy here. It's fascinating, every time I watch it.Nicole Kidman is very good as the beautiful and ruthless blonde who has big television ambitions. I don't know if I ever saw Kidman look this pretty, which is saying a lot. Matt Dillon co-stars and is excellent, too, as are the two young no-name actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Allison Foland. Ironically, Phoenix went on to become a big star. When this movie came out, few people knew him.Illena Douglas gives an underrated performance and I always enjoy the odd Dan Hedaya. Anyway, if you want to see something definitely different in the way of a story, this movie falls in that category.
