Misnamed Australian romantic comedy -- the heroine's purple prose is explicitly between hard covers -- about the mating dance of a trashy writer and a tony jeweller. Plenty of surprise turns, and some unlikely sources of humor (a crippled leg, a gashed tongue), along with a lot of broad stretches (fantasy scenes, slapstick). With Gia Carides, Anthony LaPaglia, Rebecca Gibney; written and directed by Ben Lewin. (1997) — Duncan Shepherd
