Plot
Summary: A sports photographer in rural
Canada sends a picture of a high school athlete, Tina
Menzhal, to a Montréal fashion agency. This
starts Tina on a career taking her from Canada to
Paris to Montréal again, to Manhattan, to the
world, and then home, through two boyfriends, two
husbands, and innumerable TV interviews, either with
nasty smiling scandalmongers or with gushing witless
twits. In nearly every case, Tina never gets to finish
a sentence. She has a suave agent, paparazzi are everywhere
("What the celebs forget, there's always a camera,"
says one), and a documentary filmmaker is on hand
as well. What is it that Tina thinks, feels, and wants:
will we ever find out?
Comments:
The
movie is quite clever and pops along very quickly,
making it an easy 'watch'. The great looking Jessica
Pare does an excellent job playing the rags to riches
to rags supermodel Tina Menzhal, and Dan Aykroyd plays
a resturant tycoon who loses everything in his pursuit
of Tina. I thought this movie was very funny and fun
to watch. Nothing too heavy or groundbreaking, just
good clean fun. 8 of 10.
