Right knocks on the door, the woman who answers paid him to kill her husband. At the same time there's a van parked outside the hotel filled with mercenaries. Right Sam Rockwell and he's there to kill someone. Martha leaves after throwing a wine bottle at his head.We then flash to a man in a purple suit dancing his way through the hotel. When confronted, her boyfriend blames her and actually starts to propose having a threesome with the other woman. While she's waiting, her boyfriend bursts in with another woman and they start making out on the table. She tries to take some sexy selfies but can't do that either. She tries to cook and botches it completely.

I guess that’s what I love most about Susan Seidelman’s films they’re full of style and larger-than-life characters, but they always feel real.The day off and she's trying to do something special for her boyfriend. I love how real this moment looks and feels. I love that there’s food and used Kleenex everywhere. I love that she’s wearing mismatched pajamas.

I don’t want to spoil the end of the film, but I did want to share this shot of Frankie after everything goes to shit (as it always goes in movies right before it gets better). I just wanted to include this shot because I think it’s gorgeous. I like that because it’s a subtle way of commenting on the ways society policing how men should feel about their bodies in much the same way it does women.

When asked why this was necessary for an android, Ulysses says his creator told him it would give him confidence. We also find out (through the reactions of other characters) that Jeff gave Ulysses a rather nice (and large) penis.

She also teaches him what it’s like to need the companionship of another person, something that Jeff has long since removed from himself.Īt one point Ulysses breaks free from his captivity at the science place, following Frankie to the mall (this is an 80s movie after all), during which time he gets himself a really nice tux, gets mistaken for Jeff and goes on a really bad date and eventually finds himself in the hands of Frankie’s lovesick best friend (Glenn Headly). She teaches him about emotions and hugging and other aspects of platonic intimacy. Part of what I like about this section of the film is that a lot of what Frankie teaches Ulysses are aspects of humanity that are often considered “feminine” and therefore weak.

Also in tow is Ulysses’s creator Jeff (also Malkovich), who it seems is even less equipped to interact with humans than his android counterpoint. I almost wish we got a whole movie about this character.įrankie’s new client is a company that has created an android – Ulysses (John Malkovich) – that will going off to space. I love this scene because the establishing shots show an interesting variety of mannequins, then it focuses on the sister, who clearly does not care much about societal standards of beauty. You learn so much about Frankie in so little time.Ī side story includes helping her bitter mother plan her free-spirited sister’s wedding. The introduction of Frankie is interesting because you first see her throwing out her boyfriends belongings – a moment of both strength and emotional turmoil – then you see her getting ready in her car (a great make-up montage and some killer art direction inside the car), and finally she gets to her office and is a no-nonsense business woman. It’s an exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of both sexes.Īnn Magnuson plays Frankie Stone, an independent PR consultant who gets an important new client just after breaking up with her philandering politician boyfriend (and subsequently dropping his campaign as a client). Right from the beginning this film sets an interesting battle-of-the-sexes tone, but what I really like about it is that even though it mostly focuses on the female side of this dynamic, it never really touts one sex over the other. After I watched Desperately Seeking Susan a few weeks back, multiple people said I needed to follow it up with this little gem of a sci-fi romantic comedy.
