100The moments between the characters are absolutely full. It's a pleasure to watch such consummate professionals.
-
80Nobody else working in movies today can make her (Keaton) own misery such a source of delight or make the spectacle of utter embarrassment look like a higher form of dignity.
-
60It also takes too long in the final act to write itself out of its plot entanglements, and ends up looking rather too pleased with itself.
-
30Something does have to give, and that's the nine-figure public patronage of this kind of anemic, wit-free entertainment. Meyers's shakin' moneymaker isn't the worst film of 2003 -- no cat suits, for one thing -- but something scarier: a standard-issue bog of glossy idiocy and audience disrespect.
