Call me a snob, but any movie that capitalizes on Dawson's Creek alumni trips my cynical alarm. Not that James Van der Beek is a no-talent cheeseball, but James Van der Beek is a no-talent cheeseball. Joshua Jackson is a bit more palatable, but Katie Holmes has managed depth and range beyond either of her dimpled costars (I swear, I've never seen the show...). Still, when I learned she was the central character in an indy film about a broken family, I had my doubts. Blockbuster fluff--maybe, but could Holmes squeeze her pedicured feet into the snake-skin boots and torn fishnets of a pyromaniac with serious emotional and culinary issues?
