Review of Roger Dodger (2002) by Rob L — 25 Jun 2010
With echoes of "School for Scoundrels" where the mentor in the art of manipulation gets his comeuppance and "In the Compamy of Men" where he does not, this entertaining movie features a smoother than smooth talking performance from Campbell Scott, the son of George C. Scott, and although the film is set in contemporary Manhattan, it appears to have more in common with the Eighties of Bret Easton Ellis's "American Psycho" or Jay McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City".
The title character is riotously loathsome and we are clearly not meant to approve. One suspects, however, that there will be many an FHM reader picking up tips from his little black book of secrets - thus blurring the moral message a bit.
