CHERISH
A film review by Steve Rhodes
Copyright 2002 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
CHERISH is a dud. A romantic comedy that's not the least bit romantic and only mildly funny, CHERISH has little to recommend it other than its music. Its "best" jokes involving putting an "Anal Retentive" Post-It note on someone's butt and splashing water on people walking beneath a second floor window.
Robin Tunney, who last appeared in such eminently forgettable films as, VERTICAL LIMIT, SUPERNOVA and END OF DAYS, stars as Zoe Adler, a 20-year-old incarcerated in an apartment with an electronic monitoring bracelet after she is arrested for a crime that isn't her fault. The attractive Zoe has a problem that happens to beautiful women only in the movies -- men avoid her. "I wouldn't date so many guys if one of them would ever call me back," she complains.
The slightly Kafkaesque plot has Zoe being harassed by Daly (Tim Blake Nelson), a nerdy officer assigned to check up on her. They fall in love, or so the movie wants us to believe. Since Tunney and Nelson have zero chemistry together, it is a hard proposition to accept.
CHERISH is worth a smile or two, and that's about it.
CHERISH runs 1:40. It is rated R for "language" and would be acceptable for kids around 12 and up.
The film opens nationwide in the United States on Friday, June 7, 2002. In the Silicon Valley, it will be showing at the Camera Cinemas.
