...collection of a divorce settlement. The mother-daughter con team might seem like a wickedly creative path to vengeance, but the film's premise is undercut both by the omnipresence of Love's breasts which flounce around in every scene as implied compensation for her poor thespian skills (and the fact that she just started dating Alec Baldwin makes us question her doe-eyed ingénue act) and the fact that the movie never shocks us with sinister nastiness. Girls marrying rich husbands and draining their bank accounts-Anna Nicole Smith gave us a far more entertaining version...
...After the show I congratulated director Roland Joffe on his jokey performance. He told me that behind the makeshift stage all the actresses, such as Juliette Binoche, Marisa Tomei and Christina Applegate, had actually been nervous about their turns, worried that directors and executives might judge their thespian skills on these fun moments. Molina, Joffe and Rush come from British and Australian stock, and seemed to recognize the moments for what they are - "panto," the tradition of Christmas pantomime.

This is Alec Baldwin, of course, whose fame as a thespian often leads us to forget that he is, first and foremost, a political philosopher. I came to this realization during the Monica Lewinsky imbroglio, when he told a bemused Conan O'Brien '85 that "if we were in other countries, we would all go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! . . . We would...
