Is it any good?
The movie makes up for its weak and awkward premise with some moments of great humor and subtle insight. Oscar's talk with his professor father (John Ritter) about the importance of listening, and his own demonstration of the impact of paying attention on Diane's friends are nicely done. Stanford, Weaver, and Ritter are all first-rate and Bebe Neuwirth's performance is as dry and potent as a double martini.
