As pointed out in other reviews, the veracity of the title leaves
something to be desired. I humbly suggest my one line summary
above as a more truthful substitute.
Having panned the title, what about the film? ..nothing worth paying
theatre admission prices to see, but it will still cost you 95 minutes
of your life, even if you see it "free."
And why would you want to do that? Maybe if you are curious about
techniques of character diminution that women can employ on
each other, you could find examples here. (BTW, note that I didn't
say ALL women do this.)
Then there is Dana Delany, who plays Jill, the strong one for the
better part of the movie. You may wind up hating her as her true
character in this role is revealed, but she is good at what she
does. In her other film works she brought life to "Exit to Eden" in a
really silly role as the "queen" of an island where people go to play
out their sexual fantasies. She plays a beautiful, but "dirty
double-crossing woman" in "The Right Temptation" in which she
cons Rebecca DeMornay into seducing her husband.
Most of the problems with this movie center around the annoying
overacting, exaggerated gestures, and excessive foul language.
You may get the feeling that you're watching an episode of an
"R-rated" soap focusing on an all-girls club meeting. But, what the
heck, if you like that sort of thing, why not?
