"High Heels and Low Lifes"
(Reviewed October 12, 2001)
-
Lightweight, extremely dumb crime-caper chick-flick buddy movie. Minnie Driver and that annoying actress who played Howard Stern's wife in the egregious "Private Parts" spend two hours trying to blackmail some London hoods into sharing the spoils of a big heist. This is the kind of stupid, cable-ready fluff the Olsen Twins probably will be doing five years from now, when they can get away with shooting guns and cussing.
Speaking of cussing: This movie is being released by Disney's Touchstone division. It includes exactly one scene--and only one scene--in which the two actresses use the "F" word, and they use it several times within that brief scene. The scene is not important at all to the plot, and could be excised without affecting the movie in the least. Gosh, is getting a PG-13 rating that desirable these days? Very odd.
Back Row Grade: F
