In Sweet Liberty Alan Alda plays a college history professor whose factually-based historical novel has been bought by Hollywood and is being turned into a film starring two huge stars: the egotistical lothario Elliot James (Michael Caine) and the seemingly airheaded and flirtatious Faith Healy (Michelle Pfieffer).
Mad City is an earnest effort at media criticism that's never convincing enough to stir a viewer's outrage in the way filmmaker Costa-Gavras (Music Box) might have intended. John Travolta plays a barely educated museum guard who is laid off from his job and ends up holding his former boss (Blythe Danner) and a bunch of schoolchildren hostage. Dustin Hoffman is a former television-network journalist making a grab at the limelight again by pushing and controlling press coverage of the story. What follows is by the numbers and not nearly as enlightening or enthralling as other films (such as Dog Day Afternoon or Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole) about simple events manipulated into a media circus. Despite Travolta's tragic performance and Hoffman's impassioned one, the film breaks up over efforts to blame electronic voyeurism for social chaos. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Sometimes a filmmaker's second movie gets labelled as a sophomore slump. David O Russell shreds that fate with Flirting with Disaster, an outrageous, free-spirited comedy about private people forced into public situations. Mel Coplin (Ben Stiller) finds the opportunity he's been waiting a lifetime for: an adoption agency rep (Téa Leoni) has located his birth parents and the agency will fly him to California if they can record the reunion. With wife Nancy (Patricia Arquette) and new son in tow, the neurotic Mel is compelled to discover his origins, despite the protests of his neurotic adoptive parents (a wonderful Mary Tyler Moore and George Segal). To give away the plot any more would be a crime, but as the title states, Mel is on a collision course of Oedipal proportions. Russell, who made incest an intriguing black-comedy topic in Spanking, is very liberal with sex, and permits dangerous situations. The two women along for the ride are not just bit players: Leoni (Deep Impact) keeps her high-energy comic routine flying, while the grounded Arquette looks after the baby, despite the mad wanderings of her husband. Stiller is a perfect comic foil.--Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

It's Alan Alda vs. Hollywood in the writer-director-star's hilarious madcap comedy about the bawdy barbaric and beautifully crazed world of moviemaking. College professor Michael Burgess' life and town are turned upside down when a film company arrives to make a movie out of his best selling book on the American Revolution. To the earnest heartfelt Professor's horror leading man Michael Caine is a philandering adventurer the movie's director wants to turn his historic story into a youth-oriented lusty romp and female star Michelle Pfeiffer is so obsessed by Burgess' heroine that he begins to inexplicably fall in love with the zany actress. Spilling over with charm wry observation and riotous comedy the divine and delightful Sweet Liberty co-stars Academy Award nominee Bob Hoskins and the legendary silent film goddess Lillian Gish.
