ashley judd and in an early role and i think her first starring role and show her real life rebellious nature in this slow move feminist soap opera . wow and be this a vehicle for political correctness and extreme liberalism or what . be a staunch feminist in real life and she must have cherish this script . no wonder leave wing critic roger ebert love this movie while it right up his political alley and too . unlike the reviewer here and i be glad judd elevate herself from this moronic fluff to good role in movie that entertain and not preach the heavy hand liberal agenda .
