This is still a real stink bomb of a movie. It's not in the same class of dreadful as, say, "Valley of the Dolls" but it's bad enough that I was feeling sorry for the cast for the damage this was doing to their careers.
Paul Veerhoven has directed some okay films and I thought his "Total Recall" was pretty good so we know he is capable of a better job than he did here. His technique is fine but he seems to have forgotten he was also working with "actors" who needed direction. Some of the acting makes me wonder if there was any rehearsal or even a script.
Yes, there was a script if that's what you call that thing written by Joe Esterhaus. And to think he used to be one of the premier writers for Rolling Stone back in its 70s heydey.
This movie is dreck - not awful enough to be good and not good enough to watch. All it is is a big misfire.
Don't bother.
