AL PACINO PROVIDES ONE OF HIS MOST RIDICULOUS PERFORMANCES TO DATE IN THIS FLOP. (I HAVE FAITH THAT WATCHING HIS HAIRPIECE IN THE UPCOMING 88 MINUTES WILL BE MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE PLOT). IN THIS DISASTER, AL PLAYS PUBLICIST ELI WURMAN, WHO, ACCORDING TO PACINO'S CHARACTER INTERPRETATION, IS ACTUALLY RUMPELSTILTSKIN. THROUGHOUT THIS MESS, WE WATCH WURMAN SLITHER AROUND NEW YORK CLEANING UP CELEBRITIES' MESSES. HIS MOST FAMOUS CLIENT, CARY LAUNER, IS PLAYED BY THE UN-DEAD RYAN O'NEAL. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT FORGOT, OR NEVER CARED, O'NEAL GARNERED FAME FOR THE 1970 HIT LOVE STORY AND FOR BEATING HIS CHILDREN IN PUBLIC (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/04/oneal.arrest/index.html?imw=Y).
ANYWAY, LAUNER ASKS WURMAN TO GET RID OF A DRUG-ADDLED SLUT HE DRAGGED BACK TO NEW YORK FROM SOME EXOTIC LOCATION. BEING THE DUTIFUL DWARF THAT HE IS, WURMAN, BAILS HER OUT OF JAIL AND BRINGS HER TO HER HOTEL TO PACK. ONCE THERE, WURMAN POPS TOO MANY PILLS AND COLLAPSES IN HER TUB. THIS SCENE'S A REAL NAIL BITER. FROM THE TUB, WURMAN WITNESSES THE HO GET RAPED AND KILLED. QUE SCARY MUSIC. TURNS OUT SHE WAS INVOLVED IN SOME HIGH PROFILE SLUTTY DRUG STUFF WITH IMPORTANT PEOPLE. THAT'S IT. I QUIT. THIS MOVIE WAS AN UNFORTUNATE CHOICE FOR ALL INVOLVED. IT RAKED IN $121,972 AT THE BOX OFFICE. WHICH, AT 10 DOLLARS A POP, MEANS 12,197 PEOPLE SAW THIS IN THEATERS.
