  • The accents fluctuate and overstate Southern speech.
  • Cullen’s claim of three and a half hours of sex is mocked as implausible.
  • Learning bad news from a morning newspaper headline is a vanished movie convention.
  • Barzoon’s jogging and Pacino’s conspicuous teeth are criticized; whether the teeth are a character choice remains unresolved.
  • A deleted party threesome scene could have made Mary Ann’s suspicions more understandable and should have remained.
  • Seeing Jeffrey Jones now prompts thoughts of his reported criminal history rather than the movie.
