Section B·Page 4 --- The University Daily Kansan Friday, October 13, 2000 Sports Page Brewery Clinton Parkway & Kasold 832-9600 Great food, Daily drink specials! 749-3900 Voted #1 by Students 622 W. 12th St. Supportive Educational Services Sunday, October 15, 2000 6:00 8:00 p.m. Kansas Room, Kansas Union Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet John and Lenny both have a crush on Hedy (Gretchen Mol), a beautiful nurse in the neighborhood who used to be a bra model. They hatch a scheme to spy on Hedy having sex with her doctor boyfriend. Madcan hilarity ensues. All these prepubescent high jinks feel contrived, and the characters two-dimensional. By talking and thinking about sex all the time, Lenny is just plain boring. So when the film takes a serious turn toward the end, and Lenny learns the hard way that adults can be ugly sometimes, it's hard to care. Uncle Phil is an Italian stereotype, who cheers for Italian baseball players and walks around the house singing songs from Italian operas. His mother (Patti LuPone) thinks it will be good for him to spend the summer in Queens with his pregnant Aunt Norma (Iiana Levine) and her Italian husband, Phil (Peter Onorati). And what a waste of Patti LuPone. The woman won a Tony Award for *Evita*. What is she doing here? Actually, she's barely in the movie, but she gets top billing. Lenny doesn't want to go. But once there, he becomes friends with John (Joseph Franquinha), the next-door neighbor who's also curious about sex. John invites Lenny to join the "sex club" he's in with two girls from school. They don't actually do anything. They just talk about it, which provides ample opportunity for forced wackiness. Alexander fails in Just Looking The Associated Press Jason Alexander apparently is trying to channel Neil Simon in Just Looking. The second directorial effort from the former Seinfeld star is like a reheated version of Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs. Only this version plays with the forced chirpiness of a sitcom. Alexander's vision of the Bronx in the summer of 1955 is idyllic. First-time screenwriter Marshall Karp, a former advertising executive and TV writer, said the story is semiautobiographical. In his childhood memories, Bronx streets bustled nonstop with girls skipping rope, old men gabbing on stoops and women buying produce from sidewalk stands. He tells the coming-of-age story of a 14-year-old Jewish boy named Lenny (Ryan Merriman), who is obsessed with sex. Lenny's father has died, and he works at a butcher shop owned by his new stepfather (Richard V. Licata), whom he doesn't trust. Crossword hrs.
