Well, everyone else seemed to love this movie. I on the other hand could not stand it. I hated every minute of the drawn out, obvious, over acted, headachey scenes. This film was torture to watch. First off, let's hit the audience over the head with the ever-so-subtle parallels here. Need I say more about the obvious Clinton Scandal train jumpers that made this film? OK, I will. Each scene was painfully over acted, mostly by Travolta and Bates. I came away from this film with no desire to see another Travolta movie again with the exception of Pulp Fiction. I was sickened by his strained and squinty demeanor. Each throaty word sounded like the exhausted output of a fireplace bellows, whose entire life has been spent inhaling and exhaling smoke. But Bates, with her over acted lesbian cowboy character put me over the edge. Her character was not only extreme but hypocritical as well. I found it very difficult to sympathize with her character and thought that suicide was grossly unnecessary, however, if she had to have died, I would have appreciated it if she had killed herself earlier in the picture. I truly am baffled by the acclaim her performance was given. I thought it was a poor character whose actor ruined any chance of likability by over acting. If you have any comments you would like to share with me, feel free to. I really am a nice person, I just didn't enjoy this film.
