The quest for True Love in the superficial and illusional worlds of fashion photography and soap opera. The cast is large and diverse, and there are some committed performances, especially from Matthew Modine and that diva of the American independent cinema, Catherine Keener. But the comic material is mostly commonplace (the talent agent, the therapist, the self-defense instructor, the dirty old man in the street, the homosexual pretty boy), and the superficial illusion that the movie has Something to Say gets in the way of even commonplace laughs. With Maxwell Caulfield, Bridgette Wilson, Denis Leary, Elizabeth Berkley, Christopher Lloyd, Buck Henry, Daryl Hannah, Kathleen Turner, Marlo Thomas, and Steve Buscemi; written and directed by Tom DiCillo. (1998) — Duncan Shepherd
