Title: Only So-So...Too Long...Tepid...But the Lady Chablis Rocks !
Review: I bought the DVD of this so-so film so I could watch the scenes with The Lady Chablis repeatedly. "She" is a riot...sassy and silly and ultimately the only redeeming feature of Clint Eastwood's disappointing version of the mega-selling book. Though John Cusack is charming in "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "High Fidelity," he exudes no personality here and even looks pasty and exhausted. Kevin Spacey's Jim Williams is under- developed and creates neither sympathy nor loathing. The atmosphere of Savannah and the vodoo element are also wasted. This unfortunate combination allows Chablis to walk off with the picture... and she manages to make Cusack, Spacey, and the rest of the cast the straight (no pun intended) pawns in her hilarious act.
