Dick

Watched this movie again and would like to report it being funnier the second time around. I remember seeing it in Seattle when it came out, and thinking that it was funny in a quiet sort of way, but with jarring bits of juvenile humor. Well, maybe I've devolved since then, but the juvenile stuff didn't bother me when I watched it again. Very funny film.

The director, Andrew Flemming, seems to have moved into television projects of late. His previous movies share with 'Dick' a focus on unconventional love lives of the highschool-college dorm set. Maybe he wanted to be a hipper John Hughes.

I thought Michelle Williams was great as the teen obsessed with, then jilted by, Tricky Dick. (Very subtle, Mr. Flemming.) She appears to be keeping busy with mostly secondary parts in smaller films, but she's got a larger part in an still-in-production film written by E. Annie Proux and directed by Ang Lee.
