A comedy thriller about a desk clerk with delusions of
grandeur who becomes mixed up with a beautiful model who's rather homicidal.
SEX/NUDITY 7 - There's a prolonged sex scene with a nude couple -- the woman
is on top, and there's lots of moaning. There's a behind shot and side shot of a nude
woman, a woman rubs a man's clothed crotch, a couple writhe on a kitchen floor moaning and
kissing, a man lays on top of a woman (both clothed) and her legs are wrapped around him.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Three people get punched in the face resulting in bloody
noses, two people are shot -- little blood shown -- a man is killed by being hit in the
head with a statue, the police beat up a man, a corpse is thrown from a roof and is then
run over by a car, and two scenes of a woman brandishing a knife and threatening to kill a
man. All of these scenes are played for laughs.
PROFANITY 6 - Approximately 25 F-words, 9 scatological allusions, a handful
of lesser obscenities and 4 references to male/female anatomy. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder, blackmail, frustration with a dead-end job,
distinguishing fantasy from reality.
MESSAGE - Your fantasy may come true, but it might not be what you expected.
It's difficult to really know a person.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
