Worth a watch

This poor man's WAR OF THE ROSES pits the initially mellow French Stewart against marriage-crazy Bridgette Wilson. She lures him in him, mainly through wild sex, and then goes berserk when he makes it plain he has no intention of getting married. Among other things, she throws a pair of $10,000 diamond earrings into the drink (don't worry; she still has them and was just screwing with him). Stewart isn't so mellow at this point. Near the end, they reconcile and head for Vegas to marry. What happens after that is entirely too predictable, right down to someone getting -- well, see the movie for yourself. Both leads are in fine form, but the supporting cast (Tyra Banks, anyone?) could have been selected with more care. I must say the curvaceous and smart-as-a-whip Wilson was at the top of her game when she made this trifle. When she isn't letting it all hang out, she gets to play a passable Elvis, Stewart's idol. How could any sane man turn this vixen down?
