...movie depicts this awful feeling with its antithesis in Joe (Matthew Modine), a woman's hero. I would take him home and frame him. Joe offers to take a bullet on behalf of a stranger whose boyfriend is beating her on the street. When Joe sees an old man making a lewd pass at a girl young enough to be his granddaughter, Joe asks him to consider his conduct and the age difference.

...thing that's best about this movie is that Gwyneth Paltrow knows when to leave. As soon as she figures out that her boyfriend's mom is trying to kill her, she leaves, husband or no husband. Her real-time realization of the situation at hand is so refreshing that you have to smile. Especially compared to the number of people that Freddie eats before the lead realizes what's wrong.
