Title: Dumb, dumb, dumb
Review: I will watch anything in which my favorite actress, Drew Barrymore, appears. But this movie is for Drew fans only. The plot is hopelessly lame, telling of the nefarious influence of bad girl Drew on an improbably wealthy Beverly Hills family. There is almost no plot, little of value in the way of character development, and it is pretentious throughout. And unless you're watching the movie when you're about to drop off to sleep, you might find yourself laughing at quite a bit of it. However, the acting on the part of the two principals, Sylvie (Sara Gilbert) and Ivy (Drew), is good--and for that I'll give one star.The other star I give just for the inspired casting of Drew in the Ivy role. Her classical beauty contrasts nicely with the vixen she is recreating. And Drew is in nearly every scene--an added bonus. But why does she continue, even to the present day, to make movies unworthy of her basically serious and intelligent disposition?Bubba
