There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie was witty, clever and fun. It was even better the second time. Every time I see it, I notice something new.It is a true social commentary on the "trend-sucking leeches" of New York City in the 1990's.

This is almost a "screwball comedy", but not quite. The pacing is slower. The characters do and say silly things, but only after careful deliberation. Everyone in this movie is so cute you want to rub noses with them. No knee-slappers, but lots of chuckles and smiles. This is a good movie. This is a nice movie. It has a happy ending, which is rare these days. Bowie's acting was competent but unremarkable. I think it was nice to see a "steady-eddie" in the role. It's almost a conventional story with trappings of a farce. The audience knows it a farce. The players know its a farce. The players know that the audience knows its a farce. Therefore we all enjoy ourselves.

Ok, I really do not see why this movie got such bad reviews. This is one of my very favorites of all time. David Bowie is hot, it had a good cast, and an inventive story board. Everyone that I know that has seen it, even non-Bowie fans, has liked it.

David Bowie is fairly promising as a bartender frantically searching for a green card. He meets a contortionist/hopeful escape artist and she and him begin an affair.The hijinks of trying to get a green card aren't that funny and the film doesn't move too quick at all. Plot points introduce themselves towards the end of the movie and nothing really gets resolved. But, other than that, it's a light hearted film that would warrant watching, that is if you're a Bowie fan.There are some good roles, played by Buck Henry and Marlee Matlin, but the script doesn't do the actors' justice. The music isn't too bad, a good score as usual from Thomas Newman, alumni of The Player and Shawshank Redemption fame.It's just one of those romantic comedies with a twist! Nothing much else to it really.Five out of ten.
