TC Candler's Review

A

"Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack & Coke all morning. She can make you feel high, full of the single greatest commodity known to man... promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl... In her smile, in her soul, in the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are... Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels. A beautiful girl is all-powerful and that's as good as love. That's as good as love!"

This film reminds me of a girl named Tabitha Morgan Pressler.  Tony from Sight n Sound still thinks about you Tabs! Email me if you ever see this.

Richard Propes' Comment

I must confess something rather embarrassing. I forgot this film. I forgot everything about it. I couldn't remember the story, the plot line, the characters or anything. So, when I initially rated it a B- it was an impulsive rating based upon the fact I knew I had seen the film and didn't quite embrace it the way others had.

I re-watched film once I knew I needed to write some comments on the film and, wow, it's not the film I remembered. This is a film that is so easygoing and friendly that it sort of slips by and definitely slipped under the box-office radar. It's the sort or film that prefers human interaction to dramatic distraction. It's sweet, affirming and just a good film to watch (though I can't quite justify an "A" range rating).
