...poses carefully, but manages to be convincing only as a particularly promiscuous fantasy lover with all the depth of a glistening Harlequin-novel cover man. His star-power and glamour nearly vanquish his acting skills in a throwback to his "21 Jump Street" days as a brooding teen heartthrob. The camera, too, is seduced, almost comically drawn ever-closer to his face, even when he tries to hide in the depths of his knit brows during particularly emotional moments...
...will convince no one that they are bringing something new to TV. The centerpiece of Paramount's schedule is Voyager, the fourth installment in the seemingly indestructible Star Trek series. The rest of UPN's schedule ranges from a mystery-adventure series, Marker, starring teen heartthrob Richard Grieco, to a pair of frenetic Fox- style sitcoms, Platypus Man, in which comedian Richard Jeni plays the oversexed host of a TV cooking show, and Pig Sty, about five twentysomething men who share a New York City apartment.

And Heather Locklear, whose addition to the cast last year as bitchy Amanda is credited with turning the show around, doesn't have the evildoing pizazz of a Joan Collins or Larry Hagman. In a typical act of mischief...
...native Tennessee town--a place she claims she was lucky to escape without getting beat up or pregnant--to start a new life in Panama Beach City, Florida. She quickly finds a job selling souvenirs at Chamber's Beach Emporium and has a quick fling with the manager's heartthrob, fast-lane-living son Ricky. Ruby senses immediately that he is just the sort of guy she left Tennessee to escape and quickly regroups to examine her priorities. The film is narrated with excerpts from Ruby's diary, which records experiences, the personalities she encounters and her gradual self-understanding...
