Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In which Sandra Bullock flails through another non-com of an awfulness she seems unerringly inclined to repeat.
This time she's a crossword compiler who still lives with her parents, allegedly because her apartment is under repair but more likely because she's mildly dysfunctional. Her signature gimmick is to wear scarlet kinky boots, and though the rest of her looks Hollywood-standard primped and coiffed her galumphing sexual come-on sends her blind date TV cameraman (played by Bradley Cooper) running for his life.
Failing to understand his cold feet, she pursues him across country, demonstrating her ability to bore people to a standstill with her "kooky" verbal diarrhoea – is she a latter-day Miss Bates or in fact a borderline Asperger's sufferer? There's no telling, but there's plenty of cringing as she stalks poor Cooper all the way to the scene of a school-trip TV news drama.
The pun of that title is the film's final disgrace.
