Title: What a waste of talent
Product review: Considering the talent involved in this film both behind the camera and in front of it this movie is an absolute failure. While the premise of the movie is acceptable (although somewhat hackneyed these days) much of its dialogue and plot development fall far short of its full potential. The movie's only redeeming features are a few amusing scenes and genuinely funny lines. Principal actors Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer and director Bob Reiner are all capable of much better work. Another of my criticisms of this movie concerns the excessive use of the F-word. Considering the story being told and the type of characters telling it the frequency of the F-word is totally out of place in most instances. It is probably true to say that nowadays the F-word has been used so much in movies and elsewhere that it original meaning and impact have been so diluted that now it means practically nothing at all.
