One of the reasons I watched the movie was the fact that Miloš Forman was its executive producer. Otherwise, I was counting on it to be a small independent American film. And that’s what I got in the end. But what I must admit is that the dialogues are great, as well as the choice to set the story in Florida. I am also not sure how the director Michael Maren did it, but he managed to cast one sexbomb next to another. He must have gotten some advice from Miloš Forman, who liked to be surrounded by them constantly. Overall, the dialogues, the environment, and the fact that one actress is prettier than the other made this film a very pleasant piece for Saturday afternoon and I watched it with pleasure.
