Title: Defense of Jamie Gertz
Product review: I'm writing because I thought Fine's review was bad.I was interested in this movie because it has Jamie Gertz, who has proven to be a durable, dependable character actress. Mr. Fine may or may not have talent but he is not spectacular. Waspishness insults are passe and not becoming to a serious reviewer. Ms. Gertz, by contrast, turns an abundance of personality to good account through her career. I just don't know what "untalented" means in the context of this silly movie, but it was twenty years ago. Is the insult intended to be forthe movie or for her whole career since? kBad form and fuzzy thinking.I think the movie is an attempt to imitate features of Flashdance: upbeat background music, meaningless but interesting visuals, skill display, romance, people with aspirations surviving at a humble level. Jamie Gertz is the "face" girl.
