i be a huge fan of actress mary mcdonnell and which be the only reason i sit through the entire excruciating run of nola . and even an actress of mcdonnell considerable skill couldn not save this movie from itself . to put it bluntly and the movie do not want to admit it be a dumb kansa girl take the big apple by storm flick and so it toss in a few nugget of controversy ( transgenderism and age play or bdsm and legalize prostitution ) to try to give it depth . unfortunately and it do not cover any of these topic with either depth or sensitivity and turn the entire script into something that more resemble a talk point list for the extreme leave than an actual story . nola herself be the only reasonably develop character and and i do not like her . mary mcdonnell character ( the ex hooker with a heart of gold and if you can believe it . ) hint at a background that might have be interesting and but there be no follow through . the other character be one dimensional and forgettable . the plot twist and a they be and be formulaic and actually embarrass at a couple of point and and the resolution of the film be just rush and wrong . a for me . i be just go to put in a copy of sneaker or dance with wolf and or maybe watch a few episode of battlestar galactica and just so i can clear my mind of mary mcdonnell spit out this dreck dialogue . love ya and mary . youre good than this .
