Drinking, drugs, and deception cause two worlds to collide with a hurried
bang and undying after shocks. Stockard Channing stars as Ms. Hard-Headed
Corporate Executive with portfolios and presentations who meets a young
cocky brat (Julia Stiles) with control issues and rebellious obsessions.
The two mix and mingle with their psychological mind games and acute
polarities like milk and battery acid creating an entertaining dynamic that
unfortunately subsides when Act 2 gets bogged down by weak vengeance.
Despite writer/director Patrick Stettner's apparent shot of novocaine to the
brain, all other elements in this film work, especially the stand out
performances by the two leading ladies.
