RDC suggests Woody Allen made this because musicals were the one genre he hadn't spoofed yet. I say it would have been much better if everyone--Goldie Hawn, Drew Barrymore, Tim Roth--had sung except himself. Allen singing, even as sensibly low as he did, only made it pathe. 970913
Clearly I haven't made many wise movie choices lately. Let's all be the
sheep in Animal Farm now: John Travolta good, William Hurt bad; John
Travolta good, Andie McDowell bad. The two far outway the one, even with
his belly. The one thing I thought of in this flick is that movies should
have an additional rating: AM or more specifically CM. Animal Mortality
and Canine Mortality would help us all make more informed choices. How else
could you ever find anything in common between "The Cook, the Thief,
His Wife, and Her Lover" and "A Fish Called Wanda"?

I fell asleep during part of it. I don't know for how long, and I don't
think it matters.

Don't ask. Don't even ask.
Honest about its dishonesty and with everyone you could want. David Bowie plays a superb Andy Warhol.
Really good performances by most, although at least
remotely unrealistic and on the whole a Big Ol' Relationship Movie. Not
as spelled-out as such flix often are, nor as tediously predictable. I say,
though, if you were Hortense, would you have been able to hold yourself
together so well at Rachel's birthday party, even if you were so obviously
better raised and even if the director did want to focus away from you for
a bit?
