Yes, it's yet another movie about a Sound of Music-obsessed real-estate agent (Arquette) cheating on
her alcoholic PR-exec husband (Mulroney) with his
church-organist brother (Don Johnson!). When it appears one of
the sibs might have been pushed over a ledge, a misanthropic cop
(Ellen DeGeneres!) is called in to investigate. But the real
mystery here is: What the hell is this movie? A comedy? A
thriller? A searing indictment of premillennial American
culture? The filmmakers sure didn't know.
REEL GOODIES (1:03) As
a hitman hired to make a contract job look like a serial
killing, extra-sleazy Buffalo 66 auteur Vincent Gallo works over
a hog-tied hostage with a baseball bat.
THE LAST DETAIL Oh, how
the mighty have fallen: Lover director Roland Joffe, who was
nominated for two Oscars (for The Killing Fields and The
Mission), now executive-produces MTV's dirty-minded soap,
Undressed.
