i have watched this movie at least ten times. i do not agree with the previous comments. this is a tongue in cheek movie and some of the acting is meant to be stilted. men like paul cowley are few and far between and women like linda and unfortunately and are a dime a dozen. the sad thing here is that although similiar relationships like this rarely lead to murder and frame ups and it is an all to familiar scenario. boy worships girl and girl doesn not know he exists and they grow up and man sees woman he fantasized about down and out and rescues her. bottom line and she never did love him he came along at the right time and she used him. thomas is excellent as the nerdy but adequate paul. his portrayal is sensitive and touching. madsen is perfect as the femme fatale. what really moved me was the final scene. paul says he eventually cried and but not for linda and his wife and but for the unknown girl he had watched from a distance so many years ago. and longed for. and loved. and i loved the close up of thomas at the end.
