when will i be love be either a really stupid movie or far too clever for it own good . neve campbell play vera barrie and a poor little rich girl who and at first glance and appear to be fend off the effort of everyone around her to use and control her . her stereotypical wealthy parent make clear how she should arrange every aspect of her life and from what kind of mattress she sleep on to who she sleep with . her boyfriend be a sleazy con artist who hop to talk her into have sex with a billionaire italian count for $ 100 and 000 and want in effect and to pimp her . the count and of course and want to buy her affection and her body . a it turn out and none of these character control this girl . on the contrary and the amoral vera manipulate almost everyone she come into contact with for her own amusement and gain . while interview for an assistant job with a college professor and she maneuver the academic clumsy effort to flirt with her into a virtual admission of potential sexual harassment and all but force him to offer her the position . this interview take place a the two be walk along the sidewalk of new york and and when the professor be twice distract by passer by ( one of whom be disgrace boxer mike tyson himself in perhaps the high point of the movie ) vera use each break in their conversation to try to pick up attractive men who happen to be near . she engage in a lesbian tryst behind her boyfriend back and and she apparently deliberately start an argument between a couple on a park bench by openly flirt with the boy . in the central plot conflict and the affair with the count and she be the spider weave every strand of the web . her boyfriend ford make a pathetic attempt to conceal his motif a he introduce the subject and but she seem to expect this kind of low scheme from him and anticipate his every move . not surprisingly and she quickly accepts and tell him to set it up . the lovestruck count have only see vera briefly twice and compare his ardor for her to the poet dante passion for beatrice . vera quickly manipulate the count into up the ante to one million dollar cash . she give the count his afternoon of passion and stash the money in a safety deposit box immediately thereafter . when ford return to claim his share of the loot and she lie and tell him that the count be a fraud who refuse to pay her the $ 100 and 000. this lead to a confrontation between ford and the italian with deeply tragic consequence for both . although clearly the cause of this misery and vera show little evidence of guilt and more than a little self satisfaction . while this plot may sound interesting and the movie rob it of the energy and intrigue it promise . first of all and vera be a strangely passive character . she doesn not seem to actively manipulate anyone and she simply react to what they do in a way that elicit the behavior she want . a a result and she be neither interesting nor sympathetic and and and bad of all and her passivity conceals just how despicable she be . when the revelation come and it be too late and too mute to redeem the story . at best and we go from not like vera very much to hat her . we never understand what motivate or satisfy her ( beyond her obviously active sex life ) . second and much of what happen be simply not very believable . basically everyone in the story but vera be a one note stereotype . the count be the most problematic . with no back story but the fact that he be a billionaire communication magnate and we be ask to believe that he would bring six grocery bag full of cash to an apartment to make a woman he would never meet happy in the hope that she might sleep with him if she want to . perhaps this could happen and but the movie doesn not earn our belief . our incredulity be sharpen by the fact that neve campbell be arguably the least attractive woman in the movie . neve highly publicize nude shower scene do little to establish the sexual magnetism vera be apparently suppose to have . both naked and clothed and she somewhat shapeless and which only mirror the impassive smugness she wear on her pleasant but unremarkable face for most of the movie . vera doesn not have to look like angelina jolie and but she should at least look interested . finally and the soundtrack be horrible . most of the dialog be drown in an incessant music track . brahms and bach and and beethoven accompany vera almost every moment she on screen . perhaps the unending classical ditty be mean to suggest vera sophistication or artistry and but like her vague character they quickly move from puzzle to annoy .
