Oh, yeah, eww. Albert Brooks sells it...but Sharon Stone misses completely. Its funny, but really only because Brooks carries the film from start to finish and the rest of the time we are stuck dealing with Stone at her worst. It makes you miss her low budget fair or the films where she actually stepped up to the plate and swung for home. Andie MacDowell is as absolutely adorable and lovable as always, but Bridges was still in that funk where he didn't really know how to act (thank God that is over). All while Stone is showing up to the set and thinking about everything but her role. So, instead, you have Stone literally phoning it in while Brooks does his level best to salvage a film and help out the rest of the cast while Sharon gets her paycheck
