Michael J. Fox once more makes a courageous effort to shed his nice-guy image in Bright Lights, Big City. Fox plays an impressionable Kansan who comes to the Big Apple to take a job at a major magazine. It isn't long before he falls into the twin traps of drug and alcohol abuse. His only hope for redemption is in the hands of Vicky (Tracy Pollan), the cousin of his scuzzy drinking buddy Tad (Kiefer Sutherland). Jay McInerney's bestselling novel does not translate easily to the big screen, but Fox strives hard to please, as do all of his costars. The white stuff snorted by Fox wasn't really cocaine, but powdered milk. Watch for Frasier's David Hyde Pierce in a small role and Jason Robards in a significant unbilled cameo. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

| Couldn't even watch DVD since it was modified from its original version and formated to fit my screen. Modification of a film from its original aspect ratio is, as defined, censorship (the removal of any portion of a film... correct if I'm wrong, but a full screen movie has portions removed from the director's original intended shots!!) Sorry to get on my high horse, but as a filmmaker, this annoys me to no end. |
