this be a delightful movie that be so over the top that my wife and daughter and and i find it irresistible . the plot be just crazy but ring true to the world of soap opera in all it outrageous improbability and impossibility . i particularly enjoy kevin kline and sally field performance . i do not anyone well than kline at play thickheaded . field character truly desperate need for attention and affirmation and her almost bipolar swing in mood play nicely against the background of field famous ( infamous . ) you like me . oscar exclamation . people who can take themselves with such a large grain of salt be all too rare in this world . i think this be the only movie where i do not find myself impatient with whoopi goldberg characterization while i think she be spot on in every note she strike . robert downey jr. and teri hatcher and cathy moriarty and and elizabeth shue be also first rate a well . just a great movie if youre in the mood to go along for the ride and laugh .
