 I disagree with the previous review made of "Susan" (I'd include the
 parts I disagreed with, but being new to Net postings, I'm unsure of
 the procedures.  Any suggestions on how to do this with 'vnews'?  THANKS!).
 
 I went to see "Susan" quite frankly because of the publicity it received
 due to Madonna's role.  I was quite pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable
 the film was on-the-whole.  Sure, the plot was trite, but the performances
 were reasonable, the location shots were interesting (in terms of contrast
 with "normal" life, I thought some of the shots were up there with
 "Liquid Sky"), and the tale as a whole was "heart-warming" but not
 syrupy.  I mean, how "syrupy" can a movie be if it does allow its
 heroine to indulge in extra-marital affairs, and still be heroic?
