This tense scene resolves itself when
the tow track driver, Simon ployed

subplots that it bandy seems to have u

most of the dialogue that arnompu

wav the movie :s approat hod
hirst of all is the amount ot things
Kasdan tries to deal with At it
hours, there are a lot of subjects ad
dressed Kiisetan should have been
mom judicious as to how nmnv
things lie wanted to say
As it is the film is populated with
people who don't seem to func tion in
the re.il world with believable lives
tnsli id. they have incidents that hap
pen and then they explore them
through long, thoughtful discussions
Hut real life- doesn't work this way,
and this film is supposed to reflm t a
realistic view of modern, urban life It
seems like- all the characters have
seen ever\ sex tally relevant movie
and have created a belief system
based on that
This is an odd.movie in that just
aUitit anv given SC ene !>\ Itself is
scintillating and often insightful and
Tunny licit as a whole, there's a level
ol reality that the film never lands on
Steve Martin has a nice extended
i aiii.-o as a producei of big budget ex
ploilotlon films whose lift; almost
changes when he is shot His scenes
almost always have coined,c over

lief in a hint that olten lends to he
pre.ic 11 \ and downbeat
Tie script by Lawrence ami Meg
K isd.in boasts excellent dialogue but
is mired in its grand Intentions to fig
ure H tin meaning of file it's like
.in over-ambitious episode, of
thirtysiimcihint;
it ultimately seems to sav that it
more people had meaningful dialogue
me; . cillee. w e could save the world
It's this w holly simplistic: view of the
world that keeps the film Irom being
as important as it might have been
