...will solve it within minutes. If it's a complex combination of letters and numbers, that may take an hour or so. There is software that will hijack your desktop and cursor--and you won't even know about it. Hacking doesn't require much hardware; even a Palm Pilot can do it. What protection do you have? "Minimize enticements," say the teachers. If you don't want to be a victim of information rape, in other words, don't let your network give out so many details to strangers...

In between there is a void--feeble jokes, a lot of falling down and foolish declarations. Shana Larsen's script has the feel of a sitcom pilot, with the actors urged to make a quick impression. What's left? Fine turns by Courtney Love, Angela Featherstone, Dave Chapelle and Martha Plimpton. The film pushes them into mud, and they get up smelling sweet...
