Dir: Tom Putnam
With: Paris Hilton, Joel Moore, Christine Lakin

Undeterred by her previous experiences, plucky Paris Hilton again ventures before the cameras. In Tom Putnam's depressing comedy the celebutante is Cristabelle, glam pal to ugly bug June (Christine Lakin). Can Cristabelle play Cupid? How long did Paris train to perfect that "dazed and confused" acting style? Was that jail term long enough? Answers: yes, dunno, and not even close.

Joel Moore isn't half bad as the dope who befriends the nottie to get close to the hottie, but the whole set up is so dull and insulting that no-one should escape blame. Especially not Paris's chihuahua, who wrote the script. (Actually, the screenplay is credited to someone who once penned episodes of Dawson's Creek.) Anyhow, it's heartening to see Paris raging against the image machine with bouts of slo-mo jogging and lip licking.
