Lukewarm here in Chicago too. And the reviewer REALLY likes Leguizamo, so this sounds really weak.
Some of that stuff — though entertaining, in a gossipy kind of way — can hit the cutting-room floor without tears. So can some of the self-serving video clips of Leguizamo doing his own gun-twirling in “Romeo + Juliet.” Indeed, the journey through almost all of his films (with the rather striking exception of ‘Moulin Rouge') is not only too long, but forces the show into overly predictable rhythms. One grows similarly tired of a device where the phone rings and his agent calls. Several times.
