  • ' I I I I I I I I I I III/// 8 FEATURES August 25,1999 Same Old 'Blue Eyes' With a New Hugh... Grant by Alex Esmon Features Editor Hugh Grant is trying his darndest to make a nice comeback. The philandering Brit, who was literally caught in the act a few years ago with a prostitute in Los Angeles is giving the big screen a real run this summer with two large budget comedies. The first, 'Notting Hill,' was a huge hit when it came out in June. The second film 'Mickey Blue Eyes,' opened last weekend and my immediate response was one of mixed emotion. While 'Mickey Blue Eyes' has it's true funny moments, it lacks any of the zip or wit that was present in 'Notting Hill.' 'Mickey Blue Eyes' is a tale of the clashing of two very different worlds. The first is the world of Michael Felgate, a British auctioneer for a classy art house in New York. Michael is in love with Gina Vitale, a public high school teacher also in New York—funny how that works out. Little does little Michael know that his romantic endeavors will plunge him into a world unlike his own. The fact is that Gina has never let Michael meet her father. Every time they have been supposed to meet, something has come up and Gina's father has been unable to make it to the rendezvous. Can you guess what her father does for a living? Hmm... last name Vitale, shady past, daughter doesn't want lover to meet him... If you said mobster, you win a cookie! When things don't go as well as planned Michael is forced to meet and become 'friendly' with the Vitale clan and all their cohorts—namely Vito Grazioso, a mobster with a trigger happy son. What ensues is a comedy of miscom- munication and circumstance, which, when done well can be extremely enjoyable. Unfortunately, 'Mickey Blue Eyes' is just a little off. There are times when the jokes are slightly funny but more often than not, the comedy is stale and unoriginal. "Predictable" is the term that comes to mind. The performances are mountainous; there are peaks and there are valleys. WRITTEN BY: STCVS MARTIN AND 041/ l' BY: THORNTON WILDER AUDITIONS August 30 & 31 at 7:00P.M. in Hoey Auditorium Call backs for Picasso on Sept 1 Call backs for Our Town on Sept 2 Audition Workshops will be August 26 & 27 at 7:30 and on Aug. 28 at 2.00 Second Stage Shows: Miss Julie and The Dumb Walter will be cast out of the workshops. Bring monologues or ideas... The most annoying job is Jeanne Tripplehorn as the confused and slightly miffed fiance to be, Gina. Rather than sympathizing with her plight, I found myself wishing that she would simply disappear from the screen. She seems to have a permanent displeased look about her that is thoroughly unenjoyable. Hugh Grant has had better roles. Grant does what he can with the part but there is some of the charm missing from the character of Michael Felgate which has been present in some of his previous work. The best performances in the film come from James Caan as Frank Vitale, Gina's father and James Fox as Philip Cromwell, Michael's boss at the art gallery. Caan gives his best performance since 'Alien Nation.' Fox, a British actor who has been in numerous films and programs, steals the show. Almost all my laughs went to Fox as the slightly air- headed gallery owner who is just a little out of touch with reality. 'Mickey Blue Eyes' is certainly not the comedy I was hoping it would be. I expected a tighter script and fewer wasted scenes or predictable outcomes. The film is directed by Kelly Makin who you may remember from his direction of 'Kids in the Hall.' As well as directing the television program, Makin helmed the film 'Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy.' I recommend pulling out the old tapes of his early work www.mickeyblueeyes.com James Caan and Hugh Grant star in 'Mickey Blue Eyes' rather than spending the money on 'Mickey Blue Eyes.' We are now left wondering if Hugh Grant has made a comeback worthy of attention or if he should just stick to Jane Austen remakes across the pond. I like Hugh Grant and I think he's going to be just fine. I can console myself when he's in a less than stellar film with this thought: Even the worst Hugh Grant film is better than the best Adam Sandler movie—if he ever makes a 'best film.'
