Star studded clunker with oodles of promise at the beginning only to turn into trite trash at the end. Why would anyone make a movie this bad? Furthermore,why would Barry Levinson make a movie this bad? I suppose I will be on my way to unlocking at least one of the secrets of Hollywood when I figure that out. This is so awful it probably killed reprint sales of the book for a time.Just terrible. Made no sense whatsoever, and will insult whatever intelligence you have with its thoughtless, cynical moral, which is somewhere along the lines of "if we could bring to existence whatever we dream, it'd all be ugly and horrible because that's what people are made of." Real deep, huh?
