”Whose legs are those?”
“I think she’s the new temp.”
”I think you mean temptress.”
Derek Charles (Idris Elba) has it all. The handsome young man is the executive vice president of a prestigious brokerage house. His gorgeous wife Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles) adores him. They have a precious baby boy. They have just moved into a stunning new house. And he has a new temp secretary, Lisa (Ali Larter), who is hot to trot with him and spares nothing to fulfill her obsession.
Christine Lahti appears as the investigating detective and Jerry O’Connell plays Derek’s co-worker.
Some pretty terrific music including songs by Norah Jones and Wyclef Jean, Crudo, Estelle, Wild Cherry, Tone-Loc, Ruben Studdard and Tamyra Gray, With the Quickness, Draque Bozung, and Patch. The theme song, “Smash Into You” sung by Beyoncé, will probably garner an Oscar nomination.
Directed by Steve Shill.
Run time: 1 hour, 48 minutes
Rated PG-13 for sexual material including some suggestive dialogue, some violence and thematic content. I have a real issue with this rating. The violence is vicious and graphic, and the thematic content is too mature and disturbing to most young teens. Certainly if two terrific films like The Hammer and 10 Items or Less got R ratings solely on the basis of one or two appropriate F-bombs, this film should also carry an R rating.
My personal rating: B
