“It would appear that the writers of this rather muddled movie were in a big rush to get the script in. They borrowed elements of a number of movies, including the two in my summary, patched them together and voila. Instant movie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t get me wrong, this movie isnu0026#39;t a total loss. If you just consider the acting, we have two standouts. Peter Greene as one of the vilest villains Iu0026#39;ve seen in a while, and Clea Lewis as the greedy, vindictive wife of the best friend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLetu0026#39;s not forget Halle Berry. No, letu0026#39;s not. Her acting is always credible, even when sheu0026#39;s forced to recite lines like these. And I can assure you she is as adorable in person as she is on screen. I worked with her on a mini-series called u0026quot;The Weddingu0026quot; some years ago. She was pleasant, professional, cheerful, friendly, and beautiful. Gee, I almost sound like Iu0026#39;m gushing, but I have worked a lot of movies with a lot of actors, and she really did stand out. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, I donu0026#39;t think you can lose by spending a little time with this movie, but I have to warn you: There are more plot holes in it than there are pot holes in Jersey City.”
