slam dance be not a good picture . first of all it bore . second it badly write and thirdly it badly direct . tom hulce give a very cheesy performance a a troubled cartoonist on the run . during an early scene he enter his burglarized apartment and reach for an umbrella for protection . the ridiculous expression of satisfaction he give at find such a handy weapon be completely out of tune with the tension of the scene and so from that point on all credibility be lose . surprisingly tom hulce have a few more moment of uncertainty a an actor during the course of this ramble movie . the blame must rest firmly on the director shoulder . there be also a myriad of corny coincidence and gap loophole that only serve to alienate the viewer . such simple logic a to how a casually dress man on the run can enter an evening dress society hollywood party with out the hint problem be toss aside a unimportant . just because child seem to like the lead protagonist do not automatically mean the audience will . who be this cartoonist that laugh at his own joke . this be a motion picture that can degrade in the studio vault to it heart content because it will never be miss .
