Good enough, 28 May 1999
Author: Century-3

I've just watched this movie and I found it very good. I decided to watch it because of Drew Barrymore - she is my favorite - but even though she didn't have a very big part I enjoyed this movie a lot. This movie is about a woman who wants the boyfriend of her "friend" and she does everything to take him from her. It is separated in three parts. In the first part it shows the whole story briefly. It stops in the most agonized scene. In the second part the story starts again, almost, from the beginning and shows more information about how and why and stops in the same scene and in the third and final part - which is colorless - it finishes and you finally understand what' s all this about... I put 9 out of 10
