Plus, her instant fascination with G. is utterly ridiculous and completely non-credible. Goldblum plays Ricky Hayman, an executive for the Good Buy Shopping Network whose sales have been flat for over two years. Who should stumble into his life but G., a new-age guru who offers roadside assistance when Ricky blows a tire. From there, Ricky uses G. as a salesman on the network in an attempt to make people feel good about themselves while spending money. Naturally, G. becomes exploited, dumb-dumb moral conflicts arise and epiphanies happen.
Every scene is souped up with glossy costumes and jacked-up camera movements.
It just doesn't work. Like I've said before, a pretty face doesn't mean anything if there's no brain. It seems to build up to some sort of left-field jab at its subject, but doesn't do any of that. Instead, it becomes more the story of Hayman, who is a drastically uninteresting character to begin with. Not only have we seen it before, but this romance has to be one of the most unconvincing I've ever seen.
