Did anybody else fall asleep in this one? Director Alan Rudolph's examination of the early life and times of Dorothy Parker has wit to spare and no pulse to speak of. The film just drags and drags. The title role is played by Jennifer Jason Leigh and she's a good mumbler, even if her character isn't very appealing. Watching two hours of Dorothy Parker getting drunk and getting laid may be somebody's idea of fun, but not mine. Grade: C-
