...John F. Kennedy Jr. and Daryl Hannah For months gossip columnists speculated about when and where America's prince would marry moviedom's most fetchingly bohemian blond. The choice the couple seems to have made was truly unexpected: a breakup...
...really need are cheeky athletes as their heroes" and in addition, "flash, sass and genial trash." It is quite disconcerting when a film reviewer says villains should spew sardonic menace, in a sense asserting wicked one-dimensionality, which any film lover knows is a one-way ticket to B-moviedom. At least Fuqua had a discerning vision; Schickel seems to lack just that.
