Quotes:
Malcolm Moldowsky: We gotta move on this thing before we get eaten alive!
Congressman David Dilbeck: Move on what? I mean, if this is a shakedown, just get Willie to pay him like he always does. Why drag me into it...?
Malcolm Moldowsky: Because... it's not about money.
Congressman David Dilbeck: It's not?
Malcolm Moldowsky: No. He wants you to persuade Judge Fingerhut to reverse a child custody case, of some stripper.
Congressman David Dilbeck: Who he's porking? You know, that's disgraceful! A man like me, that's disgraceful, to...!
Malcolm Moldowsky: He's not porking her.
Congressman David Dilbeck: [stops, uncomprehending] Well, then why... why does he care?
Malcolm Moldowsky: Because he's *nuts*! That's why he's dangerous. I mean, if he was porking her, then I could talk with him, man-to-man, but this is... this is fruitcake love here.



User Review

I feel bad for the author.

Rating:

I read the book first and I can only say that I feel sorry for its author, Carl Hiassen. The book was an extremely funny satire of capitalism, politics, gender roles, etc. and the film was just an excuse for the lead actor to show off her surgically enhanced body. I mentioned the book in a university tutorial for my course on literary satire, and no one would believe me that it was not trash because they could not separate it from the movie which followed it. Too bad - the book is good enough to have warranted a script that stays true to the original story rather than exchange wit and sophistication for extended dance sequences and the lubricatory possibilities of yogurt.
