many laughs. The best one was when Sally mouths out "I don't know" When Gary has Jimmy's hand go into him and he's outside the look on his face is priceless. I could go on and on about this baby. It was great with a great cast, great acting and of course Sandy Bullock and Nicole kidman. How can you beat that? Those two are a sheer delight. I think you get the picture. I love it! p.s. Nice po po in the garden scene of SANDY. I also don't want to get in the way of Sandy's left hook. Joe Frasier would go down.

lessons. This movie wasn't meant to be heavy. It was meant to be light, fun fluff, and that it is. The characters weren't meant to be deep, but I felt the relationship between the two sisters was deeper and well performed by two skilled actresses. In spite of the fluffiness of it, I enjoyed the two scenes in which we got to sit and relax to the sound of Stevie Nicks' "Crystal." So what if cars weren't crashing and guns weren't shooting. They weren't supposed to be. I felt the camaraderie of the moment as the two sisters and their aunts got drunk on "midnight margaritas" while dancing to Harry Nilsson's "Lime in the Coconut." It was just plain light fun. Also, women can enjoy the vicarious satisfaction of watching these women destroy the evil, bullying man who tries to destroy them. The end of the film was rather Disney-kiddie-flick-like. Another ending might have worked better, but it was tolerable because it reminded the audience that the film was all in fun, and not to be taken seriously.I usually prefer deeper films, but I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of fluff. Sure it was silly and campy, but it was fun. A film doesn't have to take itself seriously to be fun. Bullock, Kidman, Channing, and Wiest are beautiful, charming and wonderful to watch in this flick, and I love watching the four of them over and over again.

title novel, I highly recommend this movie. You're in for a good time and lots of laughs, so see this movie today.

spinster aunts Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing who have avoided marriage and men. But the girls pine for men as they grown up. Kidman runs away and takes up with a series of men while Bullock marries and has two girls.Bullock's husband is eventually killed in a freak accident and Kidman ends up with an abusive man who beats her. When Bullocks goes to Tucson to rescue Kidman, they accidentally kill the brute. But because he's from Transylavnia, he has magical powers of his own. This part is confusing in the film.Back home, they try to bury him in the garden but this seems to increase his powers. Eventually, the sisters must enlist the help of some townswomen who have always shunned them to exorcise the demon from their house and lives.The exorcism with the women makes little sense but probably is supposed to show the unity of sisterhood in the face of mistreatment by men. The sisters also have to deal with a cop from Tucson Aidan Quinn who shows up looking for the dead guy. While the book may have smoothly maneuvered these plot points, the film jags and lurches from one to another.Channing and Wiest have fun as the eccentric spinsters who swan around town in outlandish outfits, but Kidman and Bullock struggle to find their characters. Bullock settles for playing her usual geeky character and looks alarmingly like Michael Jackson , while Kidman tries for a sex kitten. Goran Visnjic plays the brute. Others include Chloe Webb, Margo Martindale, Lucinda Jenney, Mary Gross, and Ellen Geer.The film was a huge box-office bomb and it's easy to see why.

all and would be suitable for every mood.

for a permanent place in children's and adolescent bedtime viewing just like bedtime stories were told by their mothers decades ago. 8/10.
