Review of The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) by Corey N — 18 Jul 2007
This film really isn't as bad as everyone says it is. It has a nice a twisty plot, and is good at making you feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately a lot of the acting is wooden, not even Tom Hanks can fix that.
Melanie Griffith is particularly annoying in this film. You don't just hate her character, you also hate Melanie simply for playing her.
Kirsten is almost unrecognizeable. She plays the part of the daughter, and she only appears on screen twice. One of those scenes focuses on her, but she shows none of the qualities that she will develop in a few years. She mostly just giggles.
