This is one
of my secret, all-time guilty pleasures.
The story is so preposterous as to be downright stupid, and I guess you’d
have to say that the acting isn’t particularly stellar – adequate certainly,
but not sparkling. It stars John Cusack
(and his sister, Joan), Minnie Driver, Dan Aykroyd (pretty funny), with a
couple of cute bits by Alan Arkin as a beleaguered psychologist. Cusack
is a reluctant hit man who comes home to take his high school girlfriend to
their ten-year anniversary party – and to whack her daddy. See what I mean by stupid? But it’s funny.
I
particularly admired Minnie Driver in this otherwise not particularly
outstanding endeavor. (The critics gave
it a pass, by the way). I wonder what
ever happened to her.
