French Exit

This never quite pops into something as interesting as it has the potential to be - it's the kind of film where the homeless guy in Central Park sounds like he's had extensive elocution training at Julliard, and the excess stylization arrives instead of actual jokes. Michelle Pfeiffer is majestically wonderful as our protagonist but she's stuck playing against mostly a set of not-quite-as-interesting characters - there's nice Parisian scenery and the occasional weird note but it never really adds up to anything of substance.
