It was a real torture to watch it. Movie is an art and this film is simply disgusting, vulgar, confectioned with a particularly refined bad taste, a waste of time and money.

My Bacon number is 2. (I was in <i>Bull Durham</i>, in the crowd. Kevin Costner was in <i>Bull Durham</i> and <i>JFK</i>, and Bacon was in <i>JFK</i>.)

They really cared about one another and this is remarkably well portrayed. Not to mention a superb script.
