I found it to be to uneven and confusing to give it a good review. You get dangled along for a while and then find out you were watching someone's dream! I think a lot of the problems with this movie are that it has an identity crisis - it doesn't know if it is a comedy or drama. The humor ranges from slapstick to sophisticated satire. I suspect the average viewer, Joe Q. Public will not like this one. And the ending will leave you stunned in your seat. -- Rick Gillespie rick@ucla-cs ...!{cepu|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|ucbvax}!ucla-cs!rick "She turned me into a newt! . . . I got better."
