A Pyromaniac's Love Story
Warning: This is only a love story. Do not try this at home.
A pastry shop burns down and Leguizamo, who works there, is offered money to take the blame for the arson; he and his girlfriend could use it. A quaint little film populated by a variety of oddballs who all confess to the crime because of love; it’s a lively and engaging cast. The director co-created St. Elsewhere , so the absurdities and the sprightly tone come as no surprise. However, the movie isn’t very funny and one grows weary of all the peculiarities after a while—to say nothing of the music.
1995-U.S. 95 min. Color. Directed by Joshua Brand. Cast: William Baldwin (Garet Lumpke), John Leguizamo (Sergio Cuccio), Sadie Frost (Hattie Lido), Erika Eleniak, Michael Lerner, Joan Plowright. Cameo: Richard Crenna.
