4.0 out of 5 stars Romantic, January 10, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Advice From a Caterpillar (DVD)
I liked this movie; sweetly romantic with a bit of a twist: two artist friends (straight woman, gay man) are trying to be sophisticated and avoid any hint of having real feelings in any of their relationships. But whoops! They really do want feelings and one of them ends up with them, despite trying to deny it. Personally, I think there's a hint that both of them end up with them, but the story stops before that can be developed unfortunately. The biggest problem is that this dvd is the worst dvd I've ever rented: no menus and it's got a &*^%&^%$^&*%^&%!!! intro with ads for other movies that you can't skip. Fortunately my DVD player would let me fast forward over it, but if this weren't such a good movie, I wouldn't buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, September 24, 2002
By a huge Sex and the City fan (Collegeville, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advice From a Caterpillar (DVD)
Being a big Miranda Hobbes (Sex and the City) fan, I first rented this movie only because Cynthia Nixon is in it. I loved it so much that I had to buy it. It starts off a little zany, but once you get into it you don't want it to end. It is definitely worth checking out and it has a lot of good quotes in it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Zero chemistry; unoriginal plot, February 19, 2007
By Tracy Vest (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Advice From a Caterpillar (DVD)
Cynthia Nixon portrays Missy, a celebrated artist, whose claim to fame is taking her family's cheesy home movies, copying them on video, and then adding wry commentary. Her best friend Spaz (Andy Dick) can't seem to keep a relationship or art gig going, and has turned to catering to pay the bills. Commitment phobe Missy is happy with her affair with married "suit" (Jon Tenney), provided he remains casual about their relationship. Add to the mix bi-sexual Brat (Timothy Olyphant) who has captured both Spaz and Missy's eyes. Missy and Brat are attracted to each other, but is she willing to ruin a long-term friendship for a roll in the hay? Apparently. Instead of joining Spaz and Suit for a weekend in the country, Missy and Brat have a roll in the city. With next morning blues, Missy races to Spaz to confess.

Can anyone really believe that Tenney and Olyphant would vie for a whiney fashion don't like Nixon? Just another pretentious piece of tripe released under the guise of independent film making. There is zero chemistry between Nixon and either man. Compare that to her on-screen chemistry with Johnny Messner in "One Last Thing," which does a much better job of displaying her acting talent. This was jut a huge disappointment from start to finish.

The only thing original about this story is the title, derived from "Alice in Wonderland," which plays a key role in the film. If you have a burning desire to see this, put it at the bottom of your NETFLIX queue and catch up on Sex in the City reruns instead.
