Review of The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) by David Sterritt for Christian Science Monitor — 27 Jun 2013
Even as they've smoothed the novel's rough edges, moreover, the filmmakers have tried to cram a maximum number of its incidents into about two hours of screen time. This gives the picture a hectic pace that adds to its feeling of weightlessness and unreality.
Poor casting, especially in the major roles played by Tom Hanks and Melanie Griffith, doesn't help.
