6/10
A mixed bag, but good enough
1 July 1999
This was a fun film, and I'm certainly glad that I saw it, but I was still hoping for something a little better. I especially liked the characters played by Donovan and Kudrow, but I didn't like the one played by Ricci, and so I felt that the movie was generally better when her voice was absent. That's not to say that she gave a weak performance, in fact, I would say that the whole cast was great. But I would say that her narration really wasn't all that funny, and I only liked her when she was introducing new characters or summarizing the basic story. This wasn't the gem that I was hoping for, but thanks to a brisk pace, some intelligent writing, and a few likable characters, I can still marginally recommend this one.
