A dominant forthright woman is something to be feared and admired as many men know. She can be a force of natures, secure in herself and beholden to nobody. Alex Munday (Lucy Liu) is just such a woman and she send quivers of delight and anticipation through a group of admiring men during her seminar. Look out lads, you’ll probably get more than you bargain for.

“Glide, glide, glide. No, no, it’s not the Ice Capades. It is all in the buttocks. Don’t I look pretty. Roll your hips.”

“It takes a very secure man to walk like that,” says FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) as she takes her first lesson from Victor Melling (Michael Caine) on how to fit into The Miss United States Pageant as a contestant. But there is a lot to do and time isn’t on their side.

When nothing much is happening in your life and you yearn for something more, it is probably not a good idea to go looking for it. You’ll often find much more that you bargained for. Just ask Joe (Billy Connolly), a florist who has been cuckolded. Desperate to escape the confines of his failed marriage and looking for a little adventure after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, Joe decides perhaps a road trip is in order to see what he has been missing. In Louisville, Kentucky he hit a jackpot and finds himself spotlighted by Alice Mason (Sharon Stone) who needs a big score to pay off her gambling debts. With a deft hand, she lures Joe into her clutches and he rolls over like a puppy looking for a tummy rub. Waking to no cash, he’s able to persuade those she paid to reimburse him because they mistake Joe for a syndicate boss they know about but have never met.

When you dawdle through life, holding on to it like a glass of water that you’re afraid will spill, it only takes a random bar encounter like his moment with Trudy (Flora Montgomery) to make a fellow like Brendan (Peter McDonald) realize that he is missing something. She brings pizazz into his life that only a burglar can provide. She is willing to take a chance on him too. He is in for the ride of his life.

I’ve met a couple of people who I could characterize as so despicable I’d be surprised if anyone who note their disappearance. But they likely have someone in their lives who love them for some vague reason. I’ve not had a reason to ask as my brain is full of enough stuff that I don’t need to waste the storage. But then there is Mona Dearly (Bette Midler) who may be the most detested female living in the small town of Verplanck, New York (characterized as the test site some years past for the Yugo car company). When her car brakes fail and she flies right off a cliff into a watery grave in the opening scene, Police Chief Wyatt Rash’s (Danny DeVito) suspicions are aroused after he learns the brake lines had been intentionally cut. Soon, suspects are popping up all over town. There is her husband Phil (William Fichtner) and her son Jeff (Marcus Thomas), both of whom hated her as much as the rest of the town. Jeff is in the landscaping business with Bobby Calzone (Casey Affleck), who Mona would verbally and even physically batter. Or how about the pretty, tough-spoken Ellen (Neve Campbell)? Or maybe the woman who waving an affair with both Phil and Jeff? Rona (Jamie Lee Curtis) is the plain-speaking waitress at the local diner who was envious of Mona’s family. Lots of suspects and lots of motives.
