Geboren in Queens (1991)
32KGeboren in Queens: Directed by Steve Rash. With Kevin Bacon, Linda Fiorentino, John Malkovich, Joe Mantegna. A group of lifelong friends meet again in Queens for Ray’s bachelor party and wedding.
“After watching Dogma for the umpteenth time on Comedy Central, I became a Linda Fiorentino fan along with others out there who wondered what happened to this promising actress since 2002. I have seen other films. This one shows that she can play a desperate housewife who can be both strong and vulnerable to her husband played by Joe Mantegna. Jamie Lee Curtis is underused in this role. Fiorentino and Chloe Webbu0026#39;s characters form a believable friendship on screen that I wonder why Linda hasnu0026#39;t worked in five years is a mystery to me. Anyway, itu0026#39;s an all star cast featuring besides Webb, Mantegna, and Fiorentino but also Kevin Bacon, Ken Olin, John Malkovich, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The storyline needs some work. I loved the scene where Carla steals the guysu0026#39; clothes while they are skinny dipping in a pool. The movie is about a reunion of friends who get together for a wedding that may or may not happen anyway. I plead that Linda gets work soon again because she is really one of the best actresses out there playing strong women rather than weak and superficial.”
