    A game and often quite funny attempt with an expert cast.

    Gerber has a sharp cast at hand -- All work furiously, yet the director, with his fake backdrops and stately pacing, never settles on a consistent tone. Surely the novel had more bite.
  3. If you want to direct a movie that's already been done, it's a good idea to pick one you can improve on.
  4. Reviewed by: Ronnie Schieb

    Tries to combine romantic comedy, soap-opera parody and murder mystery, but the disparate elements never gel, and the film, about homicide at a daytime television serial, bounces around with no clue of how to reconcile or intertwine its genre conventions.
