If Sandra Bullock wasn't so darn cute, and Michael Caine so darn talented, and Candice Bergen so darn...well, Candice Bergen-y (or is it "Bergen-esque"?), this movie would be unwatchable. Come to think of it, this movie IS unwatchable. In fact, it's quintessential Swiss cinema: A stinky lump of overpriced cheese, riddled with holes...
If you need your Sandra fix, go rent "Love Potion No. 9". And if you need your Benjamin Bratt fix...well, I suppose I pity you. I mean, I was at a Superbowl Party a couple of years ago where a canned ham gave a more animated and convincing performance (playing a meat loaf) than Bratt serves up here. Shatner, though, does a nice job with his scenes (such as they are).
And to think, Leonard Maltin gave this and "Patch Adams" the same rating as he did "Miller's Crossing." What's this world coming to? Pass the crackers.
