My review · Reviewed 01/26/2024
The film works best when the dummy is used as a device to show the main character's inner disgust with himself. Unfortunately these moments are few and far between and the rest of the movie is rather mediocre. Also, I don't think Illeana Douglas should try to cry on-screen again. Yikes!
