In this mindless, pastel-hearted comedy, Bette Midler, as trash-novel diva Jacqueline Susann, flounces around in outfits that look like they've been grabbed off the lower-bourgeois rack of the swinging '60s. Midler, who appears to be playing a beaming mannequin, inhabits an airbrushed and weirdly underpopulated landscape that suggests an ancient sitcom taking itself way too seriously. The movie isn't a biopic, exactly -- it's That Girl gone fabulous. F
