  1. Cameron Diaz' hair is the most striking thing about her - egads, how does one get that hairdo? Oh, I remember, ignore your hair for about two years, yeah, that's it. Interesting that this also is her most notable feature in the immortal Something About Mary.
  2. John Cusack really can look terrible, too. I mean, depressed, discouraged, beaten down, in despair. He barely straightens up after a hard day of nimble-finger-filing.
  3. The dwarf lady in the training film, *handsdown* gets the best actress award in this film. That really took work to be that bad.
  4. Stunts are excellant. I couldn't wait to see the next one bounce over the side of the New Jersey turnpike!
  5. >The delectable John Malkovich. They cheated us in the shower scene!!! And he is so darling in the restaurant. And brave in the love scene (hasn't worked out like he used to.)

    Actually, I loved this film. I thought it was hilarious. I want everyone to see it so we can discuss. It is hard to describe and impossible to talk someone into seeing unless they have that wierd bent anyway.

    I felt dissatified that there was no closure about the iquana. We do know that the chimp finally came face to face with his childhood trauma, but we never learn if the iguana's infection cleared up. I am concerned about that.

    If you get a chance to see it, I'd recommend it!
