Title: It's a road trip movie
Product review: Highlights: Not nearly as offensive as it could've been. Decent performances from the actors with some notable exceptions. Some amusing dialog. Salma Hayek and Alan Rickman give great performances, especially considering some of the lines they had to read. The scene on the train is, indeed, amusing.Lowlights: Not nearly as offensive as it could've been. Decent performances ruined by poor staging (any seen where Linda Fiorentino is having a conversation). Some really lame gags. Too much Jay and Silent Bob -- small doses.The director seems better at character/dialogue driven movies. Plot-driven stories like Mallrats and Dogma seemed rushed; in this case, too much dialog is given over to explication. I will give him credit though: he managed to get Ben Affleck to wipe that annoying smirk off his face on the train scene.
