All of the principals are homed in on pulp-thriller stereotypes (Armand Assante, tough guy; Sherilyn Fenn, girl Friday; Sean Young, man-trap; Kate Nelligan, gold-digger), but the gags are all over the map: Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction, obviously, but also Cape Fear, Sleeping with the Enemy, Double Indemnity, Body Heat, Chinatown, and more. A hero who's a cop and a lawyer at the same time, though most of the time a lawyer, goes well beyond the bounds of comedic license. If he's going to be a cop, he really ought to report to work occasionally; and if he's going to be a lawyer, he should drop the hard-boiled dialogue and first-person narration. Directed by Carl Reiner. (1993) — Duncan Shepherd
