The offer you can't refuse. Buck Henry is a great screenwriter. He was nominated for an Academy Award for The Graduate, and he wrote one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, The Owl and the pu**ycat. He can add this film to the list of great adaptations (Joyce Maynard's book). Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant does some great films like Finding Forrester and Good Will Hunting. He did a great job here keeping the action moving along towards the inevitable, but cleverly disguised ending. Now, to the dessert: Nicole Kidman. Yes, I know some think she is one-dimensional, but that dimension was perfect for this role. This was her finest hour and she was fantastic. A real beauty, she looked fantastic in this film, and the wardrobe enhanced her beauty to a dimension no other film has done for her. Kidman was supported with some fine actors: Matt Dillon (Crash) as her husband, Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line, Gladiator) as her lover, and a favorite, Illeana Douglas (Grace of My heart) as the suspicious sister-in-law. Hey, Suzanne, did you really think that some goombah wasn't going to come knocking on your door? email this review to a friend
