...cedar, planed the top, and with his Masai sime (short sword) bored a starting fire hole. He cut a twirling stick and found the seedpod needed to catch and preserve the fire. Then he and Olentwala set about the rubbing, and soon they had a little smoking seed of flame in Moses' palm...
Another cotton robed figure circulated with a brass collection plate, on which was mounted a flaming stick of some incendiary religious material. As the plate passed crowd members, hands were passed through the flame then rubbed against foreheads. Anticipating either pain or epiphany, I followed suit, and succeeded in doing nothing more than raising my body temperature--part flame, part Episcopalian embarrassment...
...simply never grown up. In the funniest yet most poignant scene, he feverishly debates whether to stay faithful to his wife (Kate Burton) or sneak off to join a handsome widow who has urged a liaison (Kathryn Walker), when who should appear on his doorstep but an old flame (Kim Cattrall), now his best friend's new bride, to whom he impulsively proposed elopement in a stupor after lunch.

Despite Liotta's energetic performance, the film becomes a typical thriller, with a jealous lover trying to recapture his old flame, and her hero coming to the rescue. The truly interesting element of the movie, namely the quirky characters, are sacrificed to an old hat plot which is not nearly as engrossing as the first half of the film promises...
