Though I knew of its notorious past, it's sinking at the box office like some battle ship and the scathing reviews by the critics, I wanted to see what this mess was all about. Brian De Palma can be quite the "iffy" director in my books and yes, The Bonfire of the Vanities has many problems. The assembled cast for this comedy is not perfection, but it's a cast of pure gold on paper. Despite the miscues, the multitude of problems, I can say I came to enjoy this oddity, warts and all! I can't rate it highly, but secretly, I think I enjoyed the film more than I should have!
