A misfiring romantic comedy, both involved and uninvolving.
I usually like tales of Hollywood, with their larger-than-life characters, witty barbed dialogue and lots of sordid possibilities. But this is a rummage through the Hollywood undergrowth without purpose or style. The bad guys are paper-thin stereotypes, the situations are contrived as if written by first-year drama students, and there is no frisson of danger when the mob get involved. I could not rouse any empathy with the main characters, especially Vicky (Kim Basinger), whose dedication to her career was strangely unconvincing. Basingers voice was obviously not up to scratch, as she is over-dubbed. Full of cliche, both visual and verbal, this movie left me wishing for sharper and fruitier fare.
I enjoyed this film but not one of alec baldwins best predictable but watchable
