Title: Good parts, an overall disaster
Product review: This movie has a number of little gems - the soundtrack, typecast-bending casting of Dustin Diamond, Danica McKellar, Maureen McCormick, Alley Mills, and Michelle Phillips, and great performances from Colin Mochrie and Wil Wheaton. It's fun to watch the references to television shows that pop up in titles, credits and dialogue.So why is it so awful?I mean really, really, unwatchable.Part of it may be due to the fact that Kim Little (the eponymous Jane White) is not funny. At all. And the writing is painfully bad. It should be played, as Wil Wheaton and Colin Mochrie do, with a full knowledge that it is bad, but so pop-culture referential that it should not matter. But when most of the film concentrates on the main character and she is just so dreadful, well...it's just awful.If you're a fan of Wil Wheaton or Colin Mochrie, rent it. But don't buy it.
