02/01/02: I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. C (SPOILERS)

Posted By: Quagmar


This work certainly does not merit four bombs. Gloria Stuart's performance as the whore with a heart of gold is her best work since "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm". Estelle Getty's box office drawing power has been reclaimed from the throes of "Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot!". On the other hand, Jenna Elfman's character was nigh invisible, except at the point they showed her in full hermaphoditic splendor. I only real problem I had with "Lapsed Dance" is that director Jason Bloom didn't seem to realize Elfman's vast acting potential, neglecting her to the back of some inportant scenes (specifically the one involving the eggplant and feather duster). Easily this film is the surprise of the year, and it was much, much better than "A Walk to Remember". Two bombs would have been a better call, in my humble opinion.
