...network of any consequence was MOD's playground. At first they used their powers for harmless high jinks: looking up the unlisted numbers of celebrities, pestering people they disliked (such as white supremacist Tom Metzgar and former Klansman David Duke) and calling the homes of people they admired (Richard Gere, Julia Roberts).

His wife is meant to be a frigid businesswoman, but you can practically hear Sharon Stone's joints pop as she attempts the stretch. The other woman (Lolita Davidovich) is said to be a witty journalist, but looks as if she might need help booting up her word processor...
