| | Novel idea that really did fly. | Anonymous 06/21/2010 | Great cast drive this movie. Gary Busey before he became annoying. Theresa Russell is the real Marilyn Monroe, and Emil's Einstein was beautiful. For me, this movie had it all. Action, heartbreak, comedy and some high, if not dark, drama. Some very clever writing pulls it all together. Very thoughtful.
It's one of those movies that pop up in conversation for the rest of your life.
