Title: Couple laughs, but mostly misses the mark
Review: Had some amusing moments, but overall this satire misses the mark. For every memorable scene (such as the artificial-leg line dance and the "virtual embedding") there are five more that fall flat. Marisa Tomei looks as great as she always does but is asked to do little; and John Cusack reprises his Grosse Point Blank character, but with far lesser effect. The only surprise was Hilary Duff, who I only know as being a Disney singer - couldn't name a single song - but did a half-decent job as the local wanna-be diva. I really wanted to like this, but just can't really recommend it very highly.
Is the review positive or negative?
