missed the boat

Warning: Spoilers
Thought it might be interesting to read reviews, got through a dozen or so, and concluded IMDb's users, at least in this case, might be as well informed as tea party activists. This sendup of helen gurley brown's Sex and the Single Girl was about as good as light hearted as tongue-in-cheek sendups get. And since the original was in the genre of its remake (read Brown's notes in the New Yorker and Vanity Fair), you can find it a clever period hoot. But you'll have to get past your cliché blinders. No Doris Day, no Rock Hudson - the principals are Natalie Wood and Tony Curtis. Blonde hair and Anglo-American accoutremente don't change that.

That's all folks. Enjoy a reprise of the reagan administration,oh, and Check out 'bonzo' and 'death valley days' if you wonder where all that Leadership talent started.
