3/5
Wow. An extremely cheesy movie that you know is entirely aware of how cheesy it is. It has:
- A cartoonist Pygmalion
- Timothy Dalton giving absolutely no reason for us to believe his character is from Brazil except for the fact that he says "I'm from Brazil."
- Brooke Shields water-skiing on alligators
- Scene transitions that cut out huge plot points that are never explained
- Diana Scarwid overacting, a lot
- Timothy Dalton wearing an eyepatch the entire movie and a movie poster that shows him without one
- Timothy Dalton dressed up as Zorro at one point, for no discernible reason
- A clinking glass sound effect when Brenda and her editor tap their paper water cooler cups together
That about explains everything. It's a stupid movie, but fun.
