One of Michelle Pfeiffer's best performances


She was great in this. Very underrated performance. I always thought she was at her best when she was playing these parts that required her to stretch and play something far from her, like in this movie and her great Catwoman performance.

Yeah she was great. I was surprised.

No expectations, no disappointments.

this performance/movie of hers is 2nd on my list of Favorites that she's in...I love this movie!

reply

Agreed. She had me at I want a divorce.

Oh my god, you people need to watch more movies. She is horrible in this. Bad movie, bad script, bad acting. Just horrible. She's annoying and awkward and unfunny. If you want to see great performances by an actress, this is NOT even close.

her acting is over the top and quirky on purpose (u can say the same for the movie itself), shes pulls it off very well, a 180 from scarface or into the night. the movie has its flaws for sure but michelle isnt one of them

Pfeiffer was *brilliant* in this movie. Probably the best performance of her career.

I've seen lots of movies, thank you... this one was a true delight, as far as I'm concerned... oh, and I loved Michelle's hair in this movie, 80s though it was.

I love this film and Michelle's performance in it. Quirky and fun. She has great chemistry with everyone in the film and that's one of her best attributes is that she is a great character actress who works well in ensembles - Witches of Eastwick, Dangerous Liaisons, Stardust, this film.
