Better Late Then Never

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's a comedy? Well, I tried hard to laugh but, there's nothing to laugh about, nothing is funny. It's about crime? No, I don't think so. What crime? Nobody kills anybody. Is it science fiction and I did not realize, I'm too stupid? No, not really, I have not seen a laser or any atomic fart. "The Total Film" neither(meaning the film without image, no sound, no music, that film some kind of perfect without nothing in it...), because it has some actors scattered here and there. Only rant, the whole movie, so a waste of time (almost 1h54min). I wonder if Mr. Garry Marshall has seen any film of Walerian Borowczyk? I recommend him to watch a lot of movies before doing other movies. I wonder who told to that woman, Iman, that she's an Actress? And, the great music of my Romanian co-national Michael Cretu (Enigma) is simply useless(not fulfilling or not expected to achieve the intended purpose or desired outcome). Now I know what genre is this: you know, there is soft porn and hardcore porn; this one is soft hardcore nothing! 2 from 10.

This film lucks out at being a comedy and sexy, though at times there are some saucy sights of lingerie and high heels. Believe it or not, this is from the same novelist of Interview With The Vampire. Though it's curiously different, and the movie's existence is curious too. This film's break for Paul Mercurio, doesn't do much for him, and he doesn't put in much a performance, surpassed by the other three leads, Ackroyd and O'Donnell the best, providing most of the funny moments. Elliott, (Mercurio) who's had failure of relationships, heads with many other fulfilled people to the island of Eden, a sex school/retreat, where a suppressed group of shy people can work out their mishaps, in different sexual scenarios with different partners. Sounds a lot like Sex World, right. Yes, only Sex World was better. Unfortunately our photographer Mercurio, has snapped too many photographs, one involving a drug exchange by a very dangerous woman and partner. So now we have them being chased down by gangsters This one off for Marshall, is entertaining in the birdwatching sense. We even have a rollerblading contest, and you'll guess the prize, Duh? As well O'Donnell catches the eye of a male someone. Yes this film is bad, not overly bad on the account of being different. I mean we do some full frontal shots of Donna Dixon, etc, and some dominatrix activities plus a flashback scene, featuring John (Hazzard) Schneider as a professor who re educates Delaney in the ways of love. Also another funny moment has Mercurio wiggling his tousche naughtily. Wants how he gets punished too.

This is one of the 'what were they thinking' films that you just know all participants look back on like a bad drunken performance at a wedding. The jewel theft storyline is really only an excuse to showcase alternative lifestyle acceptance and Rosie ODonnell one liners. Even the nudity and sexual content, while mostly good, is not nearly strong enough to redeem in any way this movie. If you want to waste everyones time with an overview of the S/M lifestyle, who cares. But to have it then all narrated (execessively) by un-un-unfunny Rosie ODonnell with apparent ad-libs if you can believe it, is a migrainal experience that will have you personally blacklist any other movies by all parties involved. Another bicarbonate if you would, Jeeves.

The book far surpasses the movie, especially since it was not intended to be a comedy. Why is it that every one of Anne Rice's books have been thoroughly screwed over in its movie form? Oh well. As a comedy, I'd say that the movie was okay, but still not quite up to par.Okay, now with that said... I think that the acting was good. The funny parts were funny, and the dramatic parts were dramatic. It was a bit weird for me to see some of the actors being sexual and erotic, because I had never seen them in rolls like that before. So, overall, I think this was a good comedic movie. But I really wish they had kept to the book, because the book really was (and still is) a piece of art. Then again, if they had kept ENTIRELY to the book, the movie would have to be rated X...
