I saw this at the time and thought it was all right. This time, I was most struck by the following:
- It's so weird to have the Internet a non-factor in publicity
- The "Hector" stuff is pretty racist
- Catherine Zeta-Jones is easily the best part of the movie
- Billy Crystal co-wrote a script where his character is in a lust-hate relationship with a dog, that parallels the title characters'.
Anyway, it's still watchable but yeah, mostly as a period piece. Joe Roth directed, five years before Freedomland.
This is on a Julia Roberts "Triple" pack, but I've already rejected Mona Lisa Smile.
