The plain fact is that director Jeannot Szwarc turns in a movie so ludicrous and overblown that it skips right over any semblance of logic and into a self-absorbed flight of fancy.

Boils down to a sexist catfight between two fairly powerful women for the affections of a fashionably unshaven landscaper.
