I will admit this isn't one of the best films ever made, but..., 9 August 2004
8/10

I will admit this isn't one of the best films ever made, but it happens to be one of my favorites. I even purchased an additional tape just in case the first one breaks. Penelope Ann Miller is driving force behind all of this. In my opinion, this was her best performance, ever. Unfortunately, that isn't too saying much because she isn't that great of an actress-oh well, no one is perfect. Anyway, she fascinates me and I have a gut feeling that she is just amazing women. And I'm not just referring to the physical aspects. There are plenty of beautiful actresses out there. She is special because she is sexy and smart-not an easy combination to find. Of all the actress that I can think of, there are very few other examples.
