Queen Latifah brings a touch of old-fashioned movie-star glamour to this fluffy folderol.

    Better dead than wed

    Am I the only curmudgeon who is thoroughly disgusted and dismayed that so many of the movies with female stars involve the main character DYING? Is this a Hollywood phenomenon or does the whole country think that the only good women is a dead woman? Hillary Swank, for example, is in danger of being typecast.

    It all reminds me of a line in Time Magazine lo, those many years ago, saying that Love Story was the most romantic movie ever made. Yeah, if romance means a happy ending between father and son.

    Grumble, grumble.
