Star rating: * Dir: Tom Putnam With: Paris Hilton, Joel Moore, Christine Lakin
Undeterred by her previous experiences, plucky Paris Hilton again ventures before the cameras. In Tom Putnam's depressing comedy the celebutante is Cristabelle, glam pal to ugly bug June (Christine Lakin). Can Cristabelle play Cupid? How long did Paris train to perfect that "dazed and confused" acting style? Was that jail term long enough? Answers: yes, dunno, and not even close.
Joel Moore isn't half bad as the dope who befriends the nottie to get close to the hottie, but the whole set up is so dull and insulting that no-one should escape blame. Especially not Paris's chihuahua, who wrote the script. (Actually, the screenplay is credited to someone who once penned episodes of Dawson's Creek.) Anyhow, it's heartening to see Paris raging against the image machine with bouts of slo-mo jogging and lip licking.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
