From The Sublime To The Ridiculous
At that place is then much greatness in this unexpected Hollywood comedy that the cheap shots are really cheap and, quite bluntly, unbearable. Buried somewhere betwixt the special effects (boggling by the way) is one the wittiest satires to come out of Hollywood in many, many moons. Meryl Streep is sensational and Bruce Willis is, I swear, unrecognizable in the best possible style. The movie hits the highest moments when, for instance, Meryl asks Isabella Rossellini how much the magic potion costs and Isabella replays: "Oh the sordid topic of coin" sublime, exquisite, funny just with enormous regard for its audience. But when Bruce calls Goldie Hawn to explain the "incident" at domicile he goes through a TV style monologue that seems to belong to a sit down-com and non to the elegant vulgarity of this three lamentable, magnificent wannabees. The dialog, for the most part, is the best in any American serious comedy since Billy Wilder. The structure of the script is flawless and inventive. The costumes are awful and certain scenes seem directed past a third assistant. I don't know how to explain it. However, I accept information technology, I ain it and sometimes I put it on with my finger in the fast forrard. What's skilful is then good that makes the whole thing really worth it.
