surprising..., 8 August 1999
8/10
Author: gabriel stern (gbl8@hotmail.com) from jerusalem, ISRAEL

This was a movie I was unsure about, having not really liked "Kids" and not being too much of a James Woods or Melanie Griffith fan.But from the first scene to the very last, I have only praise for all concerned.

The writing is both funny and intelligent, the direction sure and the performances stunning.

The relatively unknown Vincent Kartheiser and Natasha Gregson Wagner have their characters well nailed and promise much for future roles. James Woods is his usual intense self, though with real comic flair. But its Melanie Griffith who shines, revealing hitherto unknown depths and subtlety in her acting ability.

There is much in the way of drugs, sex and violence which may be offputting to many. In "Kids" I found Clark treading dangerously between authenticity and exploitation. "Another Day in Paraidise" despite the harsh mileau remains ultimately a moving experience.
