This movie is sour and dull.PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix is on the cusp of yet another heat record this summer after an additional day of 110-degree weather.

Uma plays it more like she's in a TV movie about a girl dying of leukemia.
Uma doesn't pull it off, probably because Gus never told her Sissy is supposed to ENJOY being a hitch hiker with a beautiful body and giant thumbs. Still, a more accomplished actress might have manufactured a twinkle in her eye, or a sway in her walk, to imply some sort of hidden strength or hidden enjoyment of her adventures. In the book Sissy really is an unusually passive and timid heroine. "God knows I love women, but nothing can take the place of a man that fits." Uh, Gus? Did you read this book? UMA THURMAN as "Sissy Hankshaw." This is a tough role. As for her taste for women, Robbins in the book puts it like this. In the movie she's sullen, passive, expressionless, and dull. Except that in the book Bonanza is funny, playful, cheerful, (mostly) heterosexual, and loving. RAIN PHOENIX as "Bonanza Jellybean." No talent, no training, no problem. But that was BLACK humor, not playful and breezy humor like the book. For shame, my former student!" And yes, John Hurt was funny (and pretty gay) as Caligula. "Now, Richard, you know you've lost your soul entirely. I kept expecting Paul Scofield to wander in all dressed up as Thomas More, and sadly shake his head. For John Hurt to be cast as a goofy guy like the Countess is tragic and sad. But he is a SERIOUS, SHAKESPEAREAN ACTOR!!!! You need someone who is fun, and camp, for this role. Do you get that this is a straight man's fantasy yet?) JOHN HURT as "THE COUNTESS." Okay, he's a gay friendly man. (You see, in the book, they aren't REALLY lesbians. He's more like Hugh Hefner! He's a randy old goat and he knows A LOT about pleasing the nubile and responsive Sissy AND Bonanza Jellybean. well, SEXY!!! In the book he's not wise old Mr. (Gus didn't tell him.) Pat also doesn't seem to know that the Chink is. Pat Morita has no idea that the Chink is a very funny man. But casting him as THE CHINK was wrong, wrong, wrong.
And Pat Morita, in HAPPY DAYS, was fairly funny. PAT MORITA as "THE CHINK" Okay, there are few name-recognition Asian actors. Let's meet the cast of EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES. His ignorance of the novel's real subtext (a straight man's fantasy, not a gay pride recruiting poster)caused him to make choices that were not only bad, but bizarre. His clout allowed him to hire the very best. The main clue that Gus Van Sant had absolutely no idea what to do with the source material is the riotously bad casting. It's like turning an Oscar Wilde comedy into an Arthur Miller tragedy. Gus Van Sant took a straight man's playful fantasy of guilt-free girl/girl action and male voyeurism turned it into a dull, literal-minded Lesbian Power Recruiting Poster.

Nothing against the man, but - however Gay he may really be - he has not a clue as to how to make a funny film. Still, someone in Hollywood said, "uh oh, better give this to a Gay director or Gay People will make trouble." So they handed it to Gus Van Sant. The book was obviously - and I do mean OBVIOUSLY -written by a heterosexual male who loves the IDEA of lesbians (in the nude, all the time)but has never really met one. How did this happen? I think someone in Hollywood read this book and filed it under "GAY PRIDE - WOMEN - LESBIANS." (That's the Library of Congress subject heading.) Now anyone over 12 who reads the book will know it has NOTHING TO DO with real lesbians, any more than STAR WARS is about real space travel. But when I saw the movie, I could not believe what a dull, sour, joyless piece of junk it was.

It was sexy, funny, and full of glamorous scenery and beautiful writing. I read Tom Robbins' EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES as a teenager.
