After I saw it, I commented that it's nice to know the Women's Lib movement was just a fad of the twentieth century. And Bruce Willis knows how to play exactly one character. And for a "perfect" woman, Leelu sure sucked. The ONLY saving grace of the movie:

It's called a "multipass" protein, and (you guessed it) when she said "multipass," she sounded EXACTLY like Leelu. (It was also the only saving grace of the class.)

A few things to keep in mind:

It's a French-made fil, so the whole women's-lib thing might not be so strong over there.

Leelu (Leloo?) was pure honey dipped in charm. :) She had a great smile, she had great moves, and she had a great laugh. Could you elaborate on "sucked" a little?

Gary Oldman was born to play villians. Period.
